FOODISH Story Circle

Join CJM and FOODISH in the sukkah to share family recipes, culinary memories, and personal stories connected to Jewish holidays and traditions. Led by local chef and culinary historian Vered Guttman, participants can contribute their own stories while discovering connections across Jewish communities and generations.

Attendees are asked to bring a recipe and share its story, family connection, or holiday tradition.

Presented in partnership with FOODISH, the Jewish food initiative of ANU - Museum of the Jewish People.

FOODISH BY ANU is a global cultural initiative connecting the next generation to Jewish identity and belonging, through food, culture and shared experiences.
