The mission of the Jewish Food Society is to preserve and celebrate diverse Jewish culinary heritage in order to deepen connections to Jewish life.

Jewish history and resilience is central to JFS’ work, allowing us to tell a story that challenges false perceptions with a celebration of the cultural diversity within our community. The overwhelmingly positive and emotional feedback we’ve received since October 7 reinforces the importance of our work.

Welcome to our world — where Jewish food is delicious, constantly evolving, and deeply tied to Jewish identity. Together with the generosity of our community, we have curated an enticing array of dinners, culinary tours, gifts, and more that showcase the best of the Jewish food world.

All proceeds provide critical funding, helping JFS achieve its mission of reaching outside of the echo chamber to share the message of Jewish diversity and resilience through the universal medium of food.

Not a bidder? No problem! Consider making a donation to support JFS’s work. Your gift of ANY SIZE provides critical resources and funding for our programs. Donate $180 or more and receive a personalized copy of our book, “The Jewish Holiday Table: A World of Recipes, Traditions & Stories to Celebrate All Year Long.” It’s a perfect holiday present!
