Michelin-starred chefs to raise funds for Jerusalem's elderly
Leading chefs from France, Germany and Holland to cook gourmet dinner together with Israeli counterparts to help complete life enrichment center for needy senior citizens.
Leading chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants are arriving in Israel this week to participate in a fundraiser for Ezrat Avot, an association providing for Jerusalem's elderly population.
Chef Shalom Kadosh
of the Fattal Hotels chain decided to help out and sponsor a special culinary event which will be held Thursday with chefs from around the world, who will cook a gourmet dinner together with Israeli chefs.
The fundraiser was initiated after the construction of a health and life enrichment center in the city for needy senior citizens was halted due to lack of budget.
Sharing Joys
New 'Joy of Israel' online series documents Jamie Geller and her family’s first year as new olim, while showcasing beauty of living in Jewish state.
The funds raised at the event will be dedicated to the completion of the Jerusalem center.
Chefs Marc Haeberlin and Philippe Legendre from France, German chef Harald Wohlfahrt and Israeli chef Moshik Roth from Amsterdam, who share several Michelin stars, will be joined by Israeli chefs Aviv Moshe, Golan Gurfinkel, Yoram Nitzan, Meir Adoni, Mika Sharon, Ezra Kedem, Segev Moshe and Eran Schwartzbard.
The event will be held at the renovated Cardo hall at Jerusalem's Leonardo Plaza Hotel and will be hosted by writer Hanoch Daum. It will also be attended by the prime minister's wife, Sara Netanyahu, who has been aiding the Ezrat Avot association.
Tickets for the five-course dinner are being sold for NIS 2,000 (about $575) per person.
