Join us for a night of Israeli inspired dishes and connect with your Temple Sholom community!

Chef CJ Jacobson from Aba Restaurant will lead us, step-by-step, through the starter course of our three-course meal and share his love of Israel and Mediterranean cuisine. After the program, you will have an opportunity to “see” and connect with friends in special breakout rooms while dining on your main course and dessert. 

All food and ingredients needed to enjoy your three-course meal from Aba are included in the ticket price. The starter course, Beats & Berries Salad, will come deconstructed, as we prepare it together with Chef CJ Jacobson. The remaining courses will come assembled and ready to be heated up and enjoyed.
