Kindle in the Kitchen is a service event where we'll gather at Our Big Kitchen (West LA address provided to confirmed guests) to prepare meals for Angelenos facing food insecurity.

Many of us have been given so much light this year, and many of our neighbors are facing some darkness this season. The beautiful thing about light? Sharing it doesn’t make yours any dimmer.

In the growing darkness of Kislev, we turn toward the sparks within us, making space for creativity, connection, and the light we create together. Through the Jewish Studio Process, a unique methodology blending art therapy practices with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning and spirituality, we'll engage hands, heart, and mind to explore Chanukah's themes of light and resilience: what it takes to kindle a flame in the darkest time of year, and the wisdom held in both shadow and light. No art experience needed, and no particular Jewish background required, just a willingness to show up, make something, and see what sparks.
