Picnic blankets, babka, and banchan bialys: Inside the hottest Jewish food event of the summer
Briefly

The Great Nosh Picnic, organized by Naama Shefi and the Jewish Food Society, aimed to celebrate Jewish culinary traditions in New York City. Despite an unexpected rainstorm, the event marked a significant cultural gathering, selling out its 2,500 tickets within 48 hours. Shefi's vision is for it to become a prominent citywide celebration that showcases Jewish culture, similar to other major events. As a tastemaker in Jewish cuisine, she emphasizes the movement's beginnings and the importance of preserving Jewish culinary history through engagement and celebration.
"I live in New York City, a city whose culture and Jewish culture are so deeply connected... But still, we don't have any whole city celebration to emphasize that..."
"We're trying to create a movement, and this is honestly just the beginning."
