A culinary journey to Israel. That has been my dream for the last few years.

Taking a group to an immersive experience, where you’ll delve into the intricacies of Israeli society through its cuisine. From ancient biblical recipes to cutting-edge culinary techniques and food tech of today, we’ll explore the rich tapestry of Israel’s food culture.
And when we’re not indulging in delicious meals, we’ll be giving back through volunteer work, also centered around food.
This trip is scheduled for September 22-29.
We’re on the verge of unveiling all the exciting details...
If you’re intrigued, please RSVP to our upcoming information meeting.
The meeting will be hosted at a private home in Piedmont, California, with an option for participation via Zoom.

TRUTH & REMEMBRANCE
A multi-sensory experience for Yom HaZikaron (Day of Remembrance)
The day before Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day) is Yom HaZikaron (Day of Remembrance).

This is the national day of remembrance in Israel, commemorating the soldiers and victims of terror who have lost their lives defending our country.



We must remember and honor those who have fallen in defense of the state of Israel before celebrating its existence.

This year, we dedicate Yom HaZikaron to all those who lost their lives in the horrors of October 7 and its aftermath.

An installation will be accessible for self-guided walkthroughs at Temple Beth Abraham

Sunday, May 12th, 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM

Sunday, May 12th 6:30- 9:30pm, at

TEMPLE BETH ABRAHAM

327 MacArthur Boulevard, Oakland, CA 94610



Around the world, and here in the Bay Area, the atrocities of that fateful day seem to have been forgotten. Men, women and children of all ages, religions and nationalities - from tiny babies to elderly Holocaust survivors - were brutalized, murdered, r***d and kidnapped. We cannot allow the world to forget what happened on October 7 and how this heartbreaking war was ignited.

We cannot forget the 132 hostages still being held captive by Hamas.

We are currently preparing an installation, featuring short clips, a photography exhibit, and a video installation.



This day serves as an opportunity for our community to unite and share our collective narrative. We encourage you to invite both Jewish and non-Jewish friends to participate in this meaningful experience.



Part of installation will be shown at Pomella restaurant in Oakland on Monday May 13 from 11:00am until the evening.

A lot is being done in terms of raising money and sending help. Both in Israel, in this community, and all over the world. People are stepping up and doing incredible inspiring things.
I want to do something small but still meaningful.
My little brother Ohad was called to the army and my brother’s kids are climbing the walls with worry, they really miss him. They are old enough to understand and it doesn’t help that there is no school.
I’m going to ask for a list of addresses of people in their situation so that we can send them fun packages.
We will need to raise some money (small amounts) to send the packages and donations of candy and small toys for all ages, such as card games or small Lego boxes.
But the most important thing are the letters. You have no idea how much a letter from one kid to another kid or one family to another can make a difference. I just read a post, someone wrote that he was a soldier in the last war, and the thing that kept him going were the letters he got from kids supporting him. We can really make a difference in these kids’ lives, supporting them and letting them know we care. Especially if they add an address or email. They might become pen pals…
Mica from Pomella has graciously offered to host an open house at the restaurant on Thursday October 19th from 2:00-7:00 PM.
People can come by and drop off things or join us for some cookies and letter writing. We will have colored paper, stickers, markers, envelopes and everything else you might need. Kids from all ages and parents are Welcomed. -

Mzeouej sardines, the translation of the word Mzeouej is married. It is called married sardines because you match two sardines with stuffing in between. Stuffed fried sardines is a classic Moroccan street food. Butterflied sardine filets are sandwiched together with a generous layer of herbs, pickled lemon and harissa. They’re dipped in flour and pan-fried. If you know me you know how much I love matchmaking ♥️ even if it’s just sardines…. Fish from -
