ROSH HASHANAH HONEY INFUSIONS with Naomi Spector — Sunday, August 30, 7 pm ET via Zoom
On Rosh Hashanah, Jews dip fruit in honey or sugar to manifest sweetness in the year to come. Honey and beeswax have long played a role in Jewish ritual, folk medicine, and everyday life, and Jews have a rich history of beekeeping. Join writer, educator, and herbalist Naomi Spector on Sunday, August 30 at 7 pm ET via Zoom to learn about the Jewish history of infusing herbs in honey and explore the practice of creating a Rosh Hashanah honey infusion with herbs associated in Jewish culture with blessings, fertility, and the new year.
