October 30 at 7:45 PM
Join us for a conversation between Rabbi Brusso and a member of the Muslim community.
Traditional folklore holds that when Noah's Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat, Noah's family celebrated with a special dish. Since their supplies were nearly exhausted, what was left (primarily grains, dried fruits and the like) was cooked together to form pudding. At this time of the year, it is customary to share this dish with others.
Please come to listen and to share this sweet pudding. The cooking class will be rescheduled later this year.
Co-sponsored by Cultural Arts and Social Action.
