FOODISH, the culinary initiative powered by ANU, the Museum of the Jewish People, is launching the inaugural Global ChallahFest from November 6-29 with stops in New York, Chicago, Washington, Boston, Atlanta, Tel Aviv and London. The series includes bakery tours, student baking competitions, shared dinners and a DJ-led Challah Rave scheduled for New York on November 14 with DJ Falmer.
Programming Spans Seven Cities
The festival kicks off November 6 in Chicago with a challah-on-a-stick Shabbat dinner and wraps November 29 in London with an intergenerational conversation on Jewish food, heritage and identity. Author Jake Cohen opens the New York leg at William Greenberg Desserts, while cookbook author Joan Nathan will host open Q&A sessions.
Late-Night Rave Anchors New York Weekend
The Challah Rave represents the festival's most unconventional offering, pairing traditional baking with club culture. Chef Einat Admony and DJ Falmer are also teaming up with OneTable for a beat-heavy Kabbalat Shabbat in New York. According to FOODISH CEO Merav Oren, "A challah can become a conversation, a work of art or a rave."
The five U.S. stops also include VIP brunches and Friday-night dinners. Full programming for each city is available on the FOODISH website.
