From traditional meat-and-bean cholent to creative variations with different spices\, ingredients\, and cooking techniques\, each entry offers a taste of the cook’s personal approach to this Shabbat staple.\nMore than just a food competition\, the cookoff celebrates Jewish tradition\, the warmth of Shabbat\, and the community spirit that makes Young Israel special.\nYoung Israel’s past cookoff announcements have invited attendees to sample every cholent and vote for their favorite\, with a lineup of community members and rabbis serving as chefs. There is a $5 admission fee with sponsorship opportunities available.

Participants may read the entire book or focus on select chapters for these discussions. These sessions\, on November 22 and December 6\, will be led by Laura Rainey and Lisa Schlesinger. \n\n\n\nThe final session\, on December 13th\, is a unique opportunity to ask questions and share our study group comments with Rabbi Julia Watts Belser.
