An Evening of Joy, Inspiration and Unity!

NY Artist, Neria Cohen, led a group of thirty five women on a profound journey into their soul based on Jewish mysticism. Neria shared an inspirational talk which led into a relaxing meditation, touching people’s emotions and stirring the subconscious mind. Based on their meditative experience each woman painted their own canvas. The evening ended with women sharing their thoughts, comments and paintings with the crowd and Neria highlighting and explaining elements of the paintings using kabbalistic insights and teachings.

What a beautiful and inspirational evening the first annual Celebrate the Jewish Woman was. The assortment of great Kosher wines and different types of sushi were a big hit only topped by the scrumptious four course dinner which Chef Martin Gilligan prepared and plated so gorgeously. The chef made his rounds and the women were even able to have a few words with him. Yaffa Alayev’s lovely musical presentation had everyone clapping and many women dancing. The star of the evening was Lt. Laurie Zimmet who shared some of her stories of how her love for America and her love for being Jewish fit together so harmoniously. She moved her audience from laughs to tears as all relived her experiences.

The Shavuot cheesecake bake truly delighted our senses. Chef Martin Gilligan shared his recipe, cheesecake tips and decorating ideas. He taught us how to make all different flavors from the same base recipe. Using raspberries, cherries, strawberries, peaches, lemon rind, chocolates and different extracts the chef showed us that we are only limited by our own imagination.
We whipped up our own cheesecake batter while enjoying each others company.

The evening ended off on a great note as we were treated to scrumptious cheesecake and delicious fruits and our minds were stimulated with thoughts on the historic revelation on Mt. Sinai.
