Zoom Meeting

Celebrate Tu B'Shevat with some new recipes this year. Acclaimed chef, Eman Loubier of Dante's Kitchen and Noodle and Pie, will lead us in an online cooking class. We will learn two new dishes: Frittata Primavera and Charred Green Beans with Almonds. A frittata is essentially a crustless quiche or a baked omelet. This frittata is loaded with vegetables. The recipe will make enough for 4 people as a brunch or lunch item. He even has it for dinner. Eman likes to cook this green bean dish as a side dish. It involves the charring of the beans in a very hot pan to develop the proper browning. The onions add a nice sweetness and the almonds have a beautiful richness and crunch. The ingredient list will be sent to you once you register for the program. It will also be posted on our website. Contact: Rachel Ruth Phone: 504-897-0143 Email: rachel@nojcc.org

January 27, 2021, February 3, 2021 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm SOURCES THROUGH SRUGIM

Location: Virtual J Email: judy@nojcc.org Join Rabbi Josh for TV and Torah on Wednesday nights. We'll be watching the hit Israeli TV show SRUGIM; the Israeli version of FRIENDS. Unlike in FRIENDS, the characters in SRUGIM need to navigate relationships and family dynamics within the bounds of Halacha, traditional Jewish law, and we will explore their challenges and successes in balancing their religious and personal lives. We will start with a min-class to prepare for that day's episode with Rabbi Josh at 7:00 PM, before breaking to watch the episode. Afterward, we'll regather for a brief discussion of the episode. Beginning at 8:15 PM those who would like to stick around, we will have a halachic discussion concerning the episode with Rabbi Josh, Rabbi Rebecca Schatz of Temple Beth El in Los Angeles and members of her congregation. ZOOM link will be provided upon request. Instructor: Rabbi Josh Pernick No charge members and nonmembers Contact: Judy Yaillen Phone: 504-897-0143
