My pan may be bigger than I thought; I will measure it again and adjust the crust recipe accordingly. I saw the chocolate petit beurre at the supermarket this year and wondered how they would taste with the lemon. I will try it next time. I am so glad you enjoyed the cheesecake.

I do think that there may be a miscalculation when you call for two cups of crushed petit beurre. This seems to have created way too much crust! BTW, we used chocolate petit beurre which was very nice. For all readers out there: don't miss out on the lemon sauce - it transforms the cheesecake! We tried this recipe – yummy!

Sinai, with the receiving of the Torah, we also received the laws of kashrut dictating the separation of meat and milk. Some say that Abraham himself separated meat and milk, although he was not commanded to do so. I've heard some legends that the Jews did not eat meat in the desert, and so we do not eat meat on Shavuot as a reminder. I've also been told that the emphasis on dairy, specifically, as opposed to parve, is an Israeli thing that has been promoted by Israel's highly successful and omnipresent dairy industries. According to various religious friends of mine, in the Diaspora, there is less emphasis on dairy and simply a tendancy to refrain from meat for at least one meal on Shavuot.
