| Jay Sanderson, President & CEO of The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, joined Rob Eshman, National Editor of The Forward, for cooking, cocktails and discussion. Watch both foodies make a sensational Shavuot dish and special dairy-based cocktail while talking food, the Jewish response to Covid-19, and the post-Covid Jewish future. Jodi talked with the famed Israeli singer-songwriter about his life in quarantine in New York City; his just-released instrumental album of Spanish guitar, En Casa Limón; and the prospect of Tu B’av without his predawn concert on Masada. Plus, he strummed and hummed a few bars. |
