Think you know tahini? Love halva?
Join us for a special evening with Chef Rachel Simons, founder of Seed + Mill and author of “Sesame”!
Chef Rachel will teach us how to elevate our dessert tables with bold, modern sesame creations and, of course, we’ll get to taste
the amazing sweets that bring people together.
But that’s not all; the evening also includes more energetic, fun surprises!
Beyond the tasting, we’ll explore how one ancient seed connects cultures, kitchens, and communities.
For everyone connected to the Middle East, sesame carries memory: the taste of the shuk in Jerusalem, a grandmother’s recipe,
a beloved dish. But food doesn’t belong to just one story. It travels. It adapts. It welcomes.
Around the table, differences soften, conversations open, and connections grow.
We’re especially excited to gather women from diverse backgrounds, and friends and supporters of the Israel, for an evening
that celebrates culture, resilience, and shared values, through something as simple and powerful as food.
Come curious.
Come hungry.
Come ready to connect.
