Jake Cohen Jew-ish: Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch

Ticket $6 or Book & Ticket $38, VIRTUAL Cooking demo event for High Holidays in partnership with National JCC Literary Consortium

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

In Conversation with Holly Firfer, Atlanta Media Personality

A brilliantly modern take on Jewish culinary traditions for a new generation of readers, from a bright new star in the culinary world.

When you think of Jewish food, a few classics come to mind: chicken soup with matzo balls, challah, maybe a babka if you’re feeling adventurous. But as food writer and nice Jewish boy Jake Cohen demonstrates in this stunning debut cookbook, Jewish food can be so much more.

In Jew-ish, he reinvents the food of his 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.

The Hebrew Free Loan Association of Miami Offers Help to Those in Need

The Hebrew Free Loan Association of Miami (HFLA) is a program of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. Since 1989, HFLA has been offering interest-free loans to Jewish individuals and families who may not qualify for normal loan resources. HFLA has provided 600 interest-free loans during the past three decades totaling more than $2 million.

HFLA’s interest-free loans, as opposed to charity, fill an important gap in our social system by promoting self-sufficiency with discretion. Every loan disbursed by HFLA is a community investment in the dignity and independence of borrowers.
