Full Shabbat Menu with Chicken in Salt Crust

This week, as we begin the Book of Leviticus and start the month of Nissan, we read about the korbanot, the offerings to Hashem brought to the sanctuary.  To our modern eyes and ears, the graphic depictions of animal sacrifices seem difficult to fully comprehend.  We strive for elevation, but we recognize our limitations.  Our ancient rites tell the story of our timeless quest to connect more deeply to Heaven.  For our Shabbat menu, we offer up a delicious Chicken in Salt Crust on our table.
