Hazon’s Setting the table: Healthy and<br />
Sustainable Cooking for Busy Jewish Families<br />
For parents of children up to 10 years<br />
With Jessica Hersh, Sweet Pea Cuisine<br />
Join us for a two part cooking and learning series in which you will:<br />
• Learn how to cook fresh, seasonal and delicious meals<br />
• Engage with ancient and contemporary text, tradition and culture<br />
• Create a solid foundation to raise your family<br />
• Connect with other Jewish families in <strong>Boulder</strong> County<br />
• Prepare food to freeze and eat with your family<br />
The first class will be centered around food relationships and holidays<br />
(specifically Passover). We’ll discuss the relationships that we hope to<br />
have with our children at the dinner table, and how both food relationships<br />
from Jewish tradition and contemporary research can nurture your family.<br />
The second class will be focused on Shabbat as a ritual. The practice of<br />
eating Shabbat dinner together as a family is a way for families to establish<br />
a routine of coming together around the table in a Jewish way. We’ll make<br />
food that works well for Shabbat, including delicious homemade Challah,<br />
and will discuss rituals that families will find meaningful around their own<br />
Shabbat table.<br />
