Last night, we experienced an evening of culture, community, and cuisine as we honored Ethiopian Jews!

Chef Beejhy Barhany shared her personal story and lead a live cooking demonstration from her cookbook, Gursha, which gave us a taste of authentic Ethiopian flavors. This Together Against Hate event was a chance to connect, learn, and enjoy great food!
