Note: As we continue to stand with Israel during this devastating and tragic time, we recognize that it is essential for us to continue to come together as a Jewish community. Any opportunity to strengthen our Jewish bond, with each other and with the Jewish people in Israel and around the world, is important now more than ever.
The rich tapestry of the Jewish people is filled with influences as varied as the places where Jewish life exists. Please join our Shinshinim for a special Gerson Innovation Fund series of cooking classes that explore the tastes of Jewish cultures from around the world.
First up, Ethiopia and the holiday of Sigd.
Sigd is celebrated by Ethiopian Jews on the 29th day of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan and signifies acceptance of the Torah. As most of the Ethiopian Jewish community has made Aliyah, Sigd was recognized as a state holiday in Israel in 2008.
Our hands on vegan cooking class (kosher style) will be led by Chef Helina Melaku, owner of the Ethiopian food pop-up, Konjo Me. Chef Melaku will share more about Sigd, help us prepare traditional Sigd recipes and lead us in a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony.
Due to cooking space limitations this class will be offered twice. Choose your preferred time when registering. Please register by November 6 to save your spot.
Be sure to keep an eye out for future Ethnic Jewish cooking classes in this series. Details to come.
Note: This event is kosher style and vegan, however it will not be supervised by the Vaad.
