Celebrate Rosh Hashanah: A Unique Evening of Tradition and Modernity

Rosh Hashanah marks the start of the Jewish New Year, and we’ve prepared a meal featuring both traditional and contemporary symbolic foods. Each symbol carries a special blessing, like the well-known blessing over the apple dipped in honey for a sweet new year.


Join Aliza Grayevsky Somekh (BishulimSF.com), who will host and guide the evening, for an experience filled with readings, singing, and discussions about the High Holidays. This non-religious dinner party will feature delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes, wine pairings, and engaging conversation. Gluten-free options will also be available. Don’t miss this unique celebration that blends tradition with modern perspectives in a welcoming atmosphere.
