Bring a dish inspired by your grandmother’s kitchen and share it with the community. Sweet or savory, Ashkenazi or Sephardic, we welcome all tastes and tales. And don’t forget to bring a photo of your grandmother to place at our memory table—so her spirit can join us, too. Come hungry. Come nostalgic. Come together. RSVP by September 1
