The Mosaic of Israel and Its Cuisine

Israel is tasting a culinary revolution! A melting pot of cultures, customs, and cuisines — from the simple yet iconic falafel, to hummus, shakshuka, and more, the country’s complexity and cultural diversity can be found on every plate. JEWISHcolorado’s Israel and Overseas Center invites you to explore more on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, at 7 p.m. at the Staenberg-Loup Jewish Community Center as documentary film maker and Academy Award nominee Roger Sherman presents scenes from the sequel to his film “In Search of Israeli Cuisine”: “The New Face of Israeli Cuisine.”  We’ll dive deeper into just what it means for a dish to be considered “Israeli cuisine,” and discuss how Israel’s food is a direct reflection of its cultural mosaic. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event that’s sure to satisfy your belly and your soul. Tickets are available for $36 per person, or $180 for 2 tickets plus a “Zahav” cookbook!
