SUKKOT AROUND THE WORLD
Thursday, October 8, 2020 · 5:45PM EDT
Celebrating the diversity of Jewish cuisines around the globe.
Chefs prepare a feast of their favorite remembered Sukkot dishes
– from Ethiopia to Hungary and Italy to North Africa.
YIVO brings you our 2020 virtual gala: a unique, interactive, at-home event.
Tickets include access to our exclusive VIP virtual program and reception that
offers you and your guests a live opportunity to network, engage, and connect with
our featured chefs, food experts, and other guests.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, like many nonprofits across the country, we have faced
cuts to our funding and the cancellation of events. We hope that you will join us for this fun and
special evening and support us once again as we safely gather to celebrate YIVO’s global Jewish
community, and continue to power through this unprecedented time in our lives.
