Join us for a community dinner in the MaTovu Sukkah for a unique way to celebrate the holiday together! Jewish Cookbook Club is a dinner cooked by everyone in the community, potluck style, but from the same cookbook. It’s our way to celebrate a Jewish chef, author, and food!

For this dinner we will be cooking from Jake Cohen’s cookbook “Jew-Ish”:
This cookbook is FOR JEWS WHO LOVE FOOD AND FOODIES WHO LOVE JEWS! Jew-ish, reinvents the food of Jake’s Ashkenazi heritage and draws inspiration from his husband’s Persian-Iraqi traditions to offer recipes that are modern, fresh, and enticing for a whole new generation of readers. Imagine the components of an everything bagel wrapped into a flaky galette and latkes dyed vibrant yellow with saffron for a Persian spin on the potato pancake, plus best-ever hybrid desserts like Macaroon Brownies and Pumpkin Spice Babka! As Jake reconciles ancient traditions with our modern times, his recipes become a celebration of a rich and vibrant history, a love story of blending cultures, and an invitation to gather around the table and create new memories with family, friends, and loved ones.

We invite you to sign up to cook a recipe here. Please cook for 10-12 people, and all food brought will be shared. (Not a cook? No problem, we also need people to bring drinks!)
