Making (Jewishly) Educated Food Choices
On that day, tell your children, it is because of what Adonai did for me when I came out of Egypt.
Every year, we participate in Passover seders as a means of sharing an age-old story with the next generation. We model Q&A using four specific questions and we think about four children who are very different learners. As a people, we know how much the work of creating a healthier and more sustainable community hinges on education. Hazon draws inspiration from this tradition in the work we do year round, whether it’s cooking classes for new parents or a food conference.
Wherever you are in your Passover preparations, take a look at our free resources for creating a healthy and sustainable Passover celebration. If you’re really inspired, then register for the Hazon Food Conference. If you live in Brooklyn, we offer cooking classes for new and expectant parents beginning right after Passover and continuing through June.
We hope you take time to savor the moments as both a learner and a teacher at your seders this year. Wishing you a healthy and sustainable passover from everyone at Hazon!
A group of young parents get together after meeting at a Hazon “Setting the Table” class. Rachel Gross-Prinz considers what it means to sit down at the table and what she prepares for her young children.
