SUMMARY:Holy Yums! Cook\, taste\, and share the flavors of Israel
DESCRIPTION:Tu B’Shevat Edition – Granola \n\n\n\nWelcome to Holy Yums — where Israeli flavors meet soulful presence. We’ll begin our workshop by making homemade granola in honor of Tu B’Shevat\, the holiday that celebrates renewal\, growth\, and our connection to the land. \n\n\n\nAs we mix\, toast\, and wait for the magic to happen in the oven\, we’ll reconnect to the deeper meaning of the holiday by exploring how Tu B’Shevat invites us to notice where we come from and to appreciate the sweetness that nature gives us when we care for it. \n\n\n\nA delicious start\, a mindful moment\, and a taste of Israel — all in one bowl. \n\n\n\nThis program is free. RSVP is required. We hope that you will support the Shlichut program and Israel engagement programs here.
