SUMMARY:Holy Yums! Cook\, Taste\, and Share the Flavors of Israel
DESCRIPTION:Session 2 – Beit LaZayit: Olive Home Bite \n\n\n\nIn our second session\, we’re making Beit LaZayit — a warm\, comforting bite made of an olive wrapped in flaky\, golden dough. It’s the kind of small Israeli-inspired snack that is simple\, cozy\, and somehow always reminds you of home in a single bite. \n\n\n\nAs we prepare and bake\, we’ll also talk about the flavors that return us to familiar places — how a tiny bite can spark memories\, create a sense of belonging\, and remind us where “home” lives inside us\, even when we’re far away. \n\n\n\nThis program is free. RSVP is required. We hope that you will support the Shlichut program and Israel engagement programs here.
