Food RX is a program leg of The KItchen. Through our programming we empower community to improve dietary choices, and achieve better health and healing using real food and nutrition as medicine in preventing and managing chronic illnesses
Food for Thought is a program leg of The KItchen. Make sense of our present through investigating the past. At the intersection of history, food, and culture explore foodways that not only define our communities and identities but also connect us with one another. And in our monthly Rosh Chodesh text study, excavate the stories, roles and voices of biblical women and consider their relevance in our contemporary lives.
“Our Kitchen Table” is one leg of the KItchen programming. The overall goals of Our Kitchen Table programs are to create community in an inclusive, warm, and welcoming atmosphere. In our founding documents, we state, “Pull up a chair at our Kitchen Table to create community — chatting with old friends and making new ones. Join us as we nourish connections within KI, build partnerships across the local Jewish community and engage with the larger community beyond, breaking down barriers and finding common ground through cooking and sharing tasty food, having meaningful conversations and deepening relationships.”

In The KItchen Food for thought is also on the menu… We’re dishing text study, sampling fresh perspectives, and introducing new presentations to help us make sense of our changing world — embracing sustainability over scarcity, and partnerships over patriarchy.
Imagine A Place. . .
- Committed to nurturing community, comfort, and caring;
- a place that brings together all the right ingredients to nourish your mind, body and spirit;
- Centering compassion, collaboration and a life-affirming ethic, where we can learn together how to cook, eat, think, and live more healthfully;
- Rooted in the OYR community that connects with and influences the quality of life for area residents through exchanging ideas and serving-up food for thought;
- Open to individuals from all faith traditions where you can explore a menu of mindfulness practices, savor new insights, and experience personal growth.
That place is The KItchen at Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel.
