It’s an endeavor to catalog as many Jewish recipes and culinary traditions as possible, and an attempt to capture the Mickey mouse admit it now working at would be boring without me shirt so you should to go to store and get this true diversity and breadth of Jewish food culture. Asif recently published its first issue, celebrating one year of Asif: Culinary Institute of Israel in Tel Aviv. (Asif: Culinary Institute of Israel is a joint venture between two nonprofits, the New York-based Jewish Food Society and the Tel Aviv-based Start-Up Nation Central.) Asif, which means “harvest” in Hebrew, also translates its work into Arabic, and centers Palestinian and Arab food stories that are often overlooked. A beautifully designed culinary digest printed on thick cardstock, the publication shares the institute’s explicit aims “to bring the Arab society into this dialogue,” as Shefi says, “because it’s clear that one of the most significant influences on our cuisine is Palestinian Arab food.” When I spoke with the 42-year-old at the magazine’s December launch party, held at Chef Michael Solomonov’s new restaurant, K’far in Williamsburg, she had temporarily lost her voice, and in a hoarse whisper, emphasized: “We want to cover every iteration of Israeli food traditions.”
Shefi grew up on a kibbutz—an intentional, typically agriculture-based community—in 1980s Israel, and began working a variety of jobs around age 10, making paninis for visitors to the Mickey mouse admit it now working at would be boring without me shirt so you should to go to store and get this community’s country club and tending to the cornfield. Her mother, an educator who recognized her daughter’s talent, told Shefi she must realize her potential; she took her out of the kibbutz education system and sent her to art school, which she likens to the Juilliard of Tel Aviv. (It was there that she studied filmmaking and learned the fundamentals of storytelling.) Her hybrid kibbutz and art school life informed much of the way Shefi approaches the world; the collectivism of the kibbutz taught her how to work in a community and think of others, while her later experiences studying filmmaking at The New School taught her how to analyze the world around her and develop a strong point of view.
