The J Presents lecture series will introduce members to fresh perspectives on media, entertainment and more with outstanding speakers.
Renowned cookbook author Adeena Sussman returns to Toronto to share an inside look at Israel since the tragic events of October 7th.
In conversation with her close friend, Bonnie Stern, Adeena will reveal a bird’s eye view of Israel’s ever-blossoming cuisine, as well as the incredible energy, resilience and creativity everyday Israelis have demonstrated in their food-related efforts to support those affected by 10/7.
With Hanukkah as her North Star, Adeena will show us how Israel continues to emerge from that fateful day, finding light and meaning emerging from disaster. Ultimately, it’s about how food can nurture, heal, and strengthen us as a community during adversity—and the art we can all play in the process.
Inspired by the conversation, appetizers will be offered for you to taste after the program.
This event is a fundraiser for the Israeli Respite and Relief Fund at the JCC.
The VIP Portion will begin at 6:15 pm. It will include more tasty treats, a specialty drink, an opportunity to socialize with several important members of the culinary world and some surprises that will be shared later 🙂
Prosserman JCC, 4588 Bathurst St
