Their Favorite Dishes:
Cooking the Favorite Dishes of the Israeli Hostages

May 15: Avinatan Or's ricotta and cherries sweet buns
Thursday, May 15, 6 p.m.

Join our shinshinim, Anna and Yahelly, as they select recipes from the "Weeks of Longing" project -- a project that through food honors the hostages, some released, some still in captivity, and others who have died.

Once a month, Anna and Yahelly invite you to gather as a community in our Stern Family Teaching Kitchen. Together, we'll make a favorite recipe, tell the story of the hostage associated with the recipe, and discuss the situation occurring in Israel. Our shinshinim will be available for questions and discussions. You'll go home with treats, conversation and connections to Israel.

May 15: Avinatan Or's ricotta and cherries sweet buns
June 19: Alon Ahel's favorite cinnabons
