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."
