I was very pleased to make this menu when our Rabbis came for Erve Shabbat dinner a couple weeks past. This is a dairy and parve meal. It was very tasty and the house smelled amazing! My husband chose a Blackberry Red Wine and our Rebbetizin brought us a bouquet of the most beautiful purple wildflowers for the table!
