Join CJP Women’s Philanthropy for a journey to where meaning and memory meet with storyteller June Hersh.

Discover how the foods we share shape who we are and how we belong with storyteller June Hersh, who brings Jewish history to life in her book: “Food, Hope & Resilience: Authentic Recipes and Remarkable Stories from Holocaust Survivors.”

Together, we’ll dig into traditions and the way recipes carry our culture across the diaspora. And we’ll learn how cooking helps us hold onto joy, identity, and one another. You’ll savor every moment!

Your ticket includes a copy of June’s book, which you will receive at the event. Snacks inspired by the book will be served. Dietary laws will be observed.

If you have any questions or need special accommodations, reach out to us at WomensPhilanthropy@cjp.org.
