I invite you to expand your worldview by learning about the religion and culture of the Jewish faith not only through classroom learning, but through the food and music associated with Shabbat, Rosh Hashana, Hanukkah, and Passover!

This is a FLEX class and does not meet live!! Why is a flex format positively awesome for classes in the kitchen? #1 For best results, learners truly need to work with ingredients in an ideal state. In live classes a lot of time is spent “keeping the group together.” Oftentimes this means learners are working with oil that isn’t quite hot enough or caramel that has gotten cold and goopy because they’re forced to work at a general pace. #2 Creative minds typically don’t like to be...

The main goal of this class is to broaden horizons. Learning about world religions is a great way to build bridges among various cultures and geographic areas.
This is a class that is close to my heart. We move fairly often for my husband's job and one of our stops placed us in an area with a very small Jewish community. In a local Facebook group someone once posted, "Geez, why are our kids off school on Thursday? What crazy holiday are they pulling on us now?" That holiday happened to be Yom Kippur - the holiest day of the Jewish year. That post gave me a light bulb moment that I was in a position to teach learners who may not be very familiar with Judaism some of the significant religious and cultural aspects. This class does not proselytize in any way. Instead, I will invite your learner into our home and customs as if they were an honored guest at our Shabbat dinner or a seder. I hope you'll join me. Shalom.
