Project “JCC Global - Yummy”:

engages women in exploring their Jewish heritage through food. Each community hosts monthly local cooking sessions, while quarterly joint Zoom gatherings bring the groups together across continents. The project will culminate in the creation of a shared cookbook that reflects the diverse culinary traditions of the participating communities.

​​

Mentoring:

Mentoring sessions have focused on resilience and community building. Ashkelon led peer learning on emergency preparedness, while Baltimore facilitated discussions on volunteering. These thematic exchanges have provided practical strategies and reinforced solidarity among the partners.

In addition, as part of the wider From Good to Great program, a team from Kharkiv visited Odessa to support Migdal JCC in strengthening its marketing strategies, extending the partnership’s impact beyond the kitchen.
