Cooking Up in Hebrew facilitates an amiable environment for the community in which to explore identity, Jewish holidays and other symbolic Israeli observances. In these sessions we will reminisce, and learn to prepare dishes with distinct Jewish and Israeli flavors, in relation to the Jewish heritage. And of course, we will learn Hebrew along the way.  The session will be held in English!
