Food for Thought: Interfaith Couples in Conversation – Online – Nevada
December 6, 2020 @ 4:30 pm PST
Free
One thing we all have in common is our love of food! During this informal discussion, join Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein, an 18Doors Fellow, to talk about how our memories of days past can inspire us to create new memories with our partners. You might be surprised how the process of cooking (and eating) can bring our families closer together during our December celebrations.
In the meantime, you can peruse 18Doors’ Hanukkah recipes here.
Co-sponsored by Congregation Ner Tamid’s Interfaith Group, we will meet on Zoom on Sunday, December 6, at 4:30 pm PST.
Intended for interfaith couples. Zoom info provided after registration.
