ELI talks

I’m honored to have been part of the 2018 ELI talks cohort, filed in Detroit, MI. In this talk, I share my beliefs about the centrality of food to living a meaningful Jewish life, and how cooking and serving can help energize us to live a Judaism that is embodied, multi-sensory, and stimulating.
Further reading on some sources from our Tradition that inspired my talk can be found here!

The Great Big Jewish Food Fest

In Temple times, the Shulchan -- a special table for preparing, serving, and sharing meals with Gd -- was central to Jewish worship. Today, the Shulchan remains at the center of the Tradition. In this session from this summer’s Great Big Jewish Food Fest, I explored the prominence of the table in Jewish thought, and what our legacy as hospitality practitioners is or should be.
