CKH FOODIES
CKH Foodies - new special interest group!
- In the true spirit of community, we invite you to our virtual table to share the best life has to offer - good food and great company. Food has always provided comfort and nourishment, especially in trying times and this past year has certainly been a challenge for most.
- CKH Foodies brings us together safely with healing, delicious tastes, food stories, cooking demos, and more. All of our recipes are kosher style (no pork or shellfish) with dairy-free, gluten-free and kosher dietary options provided.
- These monthly events are open to all. While there is no charge, donations to Congregation Kol Haverim’s Lifelong Learning Committee are welcome.
- Gatherings are run by a group of volunteers. Your contributions, both financial, and food-wise, help to keep these programs going. Remember to buy Gift Cards to grocery stores from the CKH Office and use them for your shopping, online or in person!
- We’ve saved you a seat! Please join us. For further information, please contact LLL Co-Chair Blanche Meslin at bmeslin@gmail.com.

LATKE PALOOZA - Dec. 6th, 2020
On Sunday, December 6th, the first meeting of KH Foodies discussed Latkes.
Have you ever thought about the origins of potato latkes? Seriously. Did our biblical ancestors have electric skillets to make these emblematic treats? Must you grate the potatoes by hand? Do you need to fry them in tons of oil to savor the goodness of the holiday? Do they have to be made from potatoes?
We’ll talk about the origins of this tradition, a feminist twist on the beginning of latkes, memories from our own childhood and a couple of new takes on latkes like Sweet Potato Latkes with Currants and Crème Fraiche; Potato, Quinoa Latkes with Carrots & Cumin.
Links to PDF from the Event can be found here.

Sunday, Aug 15th 7:00p to 9:00p
All three films are in Hebrew, with English subtitles; they were popular movies in Israel, with wide release. They provide insight into what it means to live in Israel right now. August 15: “Yossi” “Yossi” is actually a sequel: the first film, “Yossi and Jagger” was about a clandestine love between two men in the IDF. At that time, it wasn’t quite accepted to be “out” as a gay man in Israel, particularly for soldiers in combat roles. “Yossi” picks up the narrative ten years later, when there’s a lot more acceptance. The title character is now a cardiologist in Tel Aviv. He is mourning the loss of his first love, Jagger, and not quite comfortable with being “out.” He takes a trip to Eilat to relax and ends up meeting a young handsome soldier who teaches his heart how to love again. Parental warning: frontal male nudity, sexual themes. August 22: “Fill the Void” This movie was directed by an ultra-orthodox woman, and it provides a rare opportunity to see life through her eyes. It tells the story of a family in mourning after a young mother dies suddenly in childbirth. Her widower and her sister eventually decide to marry, in order to provide a stable family life for her surviving infant son. August 29: "Lemon Tree" When the Minster of Defense moves in next to a Palestinian widow's lemon grove, her trees are ordered to be removed as they pose a security threat. She decides to take her case to court, with the help of a young Palestinian lawyer, and gets unexpected support from the Minister’s wife. Parental warning: some violence, though mostly off-screen. -
