Here’s a preview of what’s on tap for the 5th week of our Zoom at noon program. We hope you were able to Zoom at noon on Monday to hear Suzi Rosenstreich’s revealing talk on what our bodies say about what we are thinking. Rabbi Gadi followed on Thursday with a discussion about the how’s and why’s of creating a new blessing.
Coming up next week is a cook-along with Chef Deborah Pittorino on Monday, May 18. Chef Deborah believes in zero-waste food prep, as her famous Carrot Pulp Gnocchi will attest. You can watch and lunch and learn, or better still, gather the ingredients and cook with the chef.
Here’s what you’ll need: One cup carrot pulp, 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1 whole egg beaten, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Gnocchi for supper, everyone.

On Thursday, May 21, Rabbi Gadi will give a Jewish followup to Monday’s food discussion with ideas about the spiritual aspect of meal preparation. It ain’t just kashruth.
Other topics in the works include music, travel, books, art, poetry, politics, health, photography, maybe some Yiddish, and what to do with all that hair…

Sign into Zoom at 12 o’clock every Monday and Thursday. Have lunch with shul friends, and learn a little, followed by a Q&A and some lively discussion. Click on “Go to meeting” on the shul’s website. Follow the prompts, and type in the password that you use for synagogue zoom events. That’s all there is to it.
Why lunch alone? Come eat, come listen, come talk. Don’t forget: Zoom at noon for Lunch and Learn. See you Monday.
