Now you can eat like the patriarchs

Have you ever wondered what kind of meal Moses sat down to after a rough day at the office? Did you ever think you might eat it in Berkeley?

The Berkeley Richmond Jewish Community Center and Reform Congregation Beth El are co-sponsoring an evening of biblical foods at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 29. The event will be held in the auditorium of the BRJCC, 1414 Walnut St., Berkeley.

Caterer Mica Talmor-Gott and Donny Inbar, the Consulate General of Israel’s cultural attaché, will serve appetizers and put on a cooking demonstration.

Reservations are required before Feb. 20. Tickets are $18 for members of the BRJCC or Beth El and $22 for non-members.
