Background:
The recent attack on Israel has left us all in shock, grieving for our lost ones and standing strong for the survivors. Despite the pain and anguish, the spirit of Israel shines through – with communities, individuals, and organizations joining hands to rebuild and support each other. One such effort is spearheaded by a group of dedicated food experts, who believe in the healing power of cooking and nourishment.
Our Mission:
To empower evicted families and the affected communities by providing cooking workshops. We believe that the act of preparing a meal together not only provides sustenance but also brings about emotional healing, connection, and a sense of belonging.
Why Cooking?
Therapeutic: Cooking can be a form of therapy, helping individuals cope with trauma and stress.
Nourishment: In these trying times, it's crucial that everyone gets a nutritious meal.
