5:00 pm: Sips & Sweets 6:30 pm: Talk As part of ANU Museum’s global Challahfest, FOODISH Founder and CEO Merav Oren moderates a conversation on Jewish identity, memory, art, and culture through the lens of challah. Panelists—including Pati Jinich , James Beard Award-winning chef and author of the book Foods of La Frontera, and Alexander “Zoonder” Lachnish , a chef and educator known for modern gastronomy techniques—will explore how a familiar loaf of bread can tell stories about who we are, where we come from and how Jewish culture continues to evolve. The first 100 ticketholders will also get a complimentary cake pop! Sips & Sweets: Before the talk, enjoy some drinks and decorate your own challah lollipop from Baked by Yael . No one will be turned away from any of our programs due to lack of funds. For more information, please contact Kira Doar .
