“Jewish food culture goes beyond just eating; the heart of our modern table is informed by bountiful stories and connections from a lived experience of the past to the present. At B’teavon, old traditions will be made new again by integrating Jewish food culture into every part of our modern table.”

-Eliana Leader, Director of the Kaplan Mitchell Retreat Center at Ramah Darom
