The Shul of New York
A Synagogue for Spiritual Judaism

Cooking With the Shul

The one thing that binds all Jews together is cooking (and shmaltz). The Shul has no shortage of wonderful cooks as anyone who has attended one of our food-based events knows. (There are non-food events?)  Several have presented cooking lessons on Zoom, but the most prolific by far has been devoted amateur cook and Shul Co-President, Karen Seidman.  Enjoy!

Zoom Video Archive

We entered the wonderful world of Zoom (Feh!) during the pandemic (Oy! Double-Feh!) in 2020.

 

We know what with working, social distancing, matching your masks to your outfit, and throwing matzoh balls at the cat (What, it's only us?) you may not be available for every Zoom session. Not to worry, we've thought of everything. 

 After many requests we recorded some of the sessions and we present them here for your viewing pleasure.
