A reader who started a book club 10
years ago is no longer interested in
participating, but wonders how to bow
out respectfully. Miriam notes that
the pandemic has enabled people to
reconsider their priorities. All the reader needs to do is explain why
the book club doesn’t fit in her post-pandemic life and not offer a
further explanation or excuses. From dating to parenting, Miriam
welcomes all questions. Email yours to news@jewishexponent.com
and put “Advice Well Question” in the subject line.

Philacatessen QUICKEST, BEST SALSA
Jarred salsa from the supermarket isn’t bad, but food columnist
Keri White discovered that it’s not difficult to make a superior
version at home — one where the heat level can be adjusted
to your preference. All you need is some garlic, jalapeño
pepper, salt, cilantro, San Marzano tomatoes and lime. Read
Philacatessen, her online blog, for the recipe. And check
Philacatessen regularly for food content not normally found in
the printed edition, such as other recipes, restaurant reviews and
food news from around the Delaware Valley.

Our Community Has Trusted Rosen Family Businesses for Decades
My father, Don Rosen, taught me
that the key to a successful business
is integrity, meaningful relationships
