Join B’nai Sholom Reform Congregation for another cooking class with Deanna Fox celebrating Jewish heritage.

With its first online cooking class a big success, B’nai Sholom will present a second session with the renowned food journalist and Times Union contributor Tuesday, April 13, 4:30-6 p.m.

Leading up to the holiday of Shavuot, participants will embrace the traditions of feasting on dairy and wheat by making bourekas, the flaky pockets of dough wrapped around a slightly sweet cheese filling.  Bourekas is also known as sambousek in some global Jewish communities.  Participants will be provided a shopping list, a materials list and recipes for the class.  Substitutions for gluten-free and vegan diets will be provided in recipes.  Log-in using the Zoom link and cook with Fox in your own kitchen.
The cooking class is open to the public but limited to 20 screens.  Cost: $18 per screen.  Registration and payment by April 5 are required to receive the Zoom link.
