Community Kitchen at the Y
Wednesday, March 17, 7:00pm-9:00pm
Too busy to make delicious healthy food during the week? Tired of cooking alone and making the same dishes over and over again?
Wishing that there was great healthy kosher take out food in Riverdale, but can't find any? Fret no more. The Riverdale Community Kitchen is a new program for people who would like to cook healthy and affordable food together on a monthly basis. We will meet at the Y and spend two hours cooking 4-5 dishes. Each participant will take home a respectable share of each at the end of the evening.
Come join the fun, meet new people, connect to the growing slow food movement, expand your cooking repertoire, and eat better than ever. First session will be making coconut ginger soup, sesame noodles, barley-mushroom-edamame salad, roasted carrots-parsnips-shallot salad and more. Let's put Riverdale on the food map together!
If you have questions, contact Marti Michael (MMichael@RiverdaleY.org) and she'll put you in touch with organizers Gail and Jonathan Schorsch. Please register in advance so we purchase the correct quantity of food.
Communal Cooking Co-op
Here’s a new concept -- join a kosher cooking co-op and take home healthy meals for your family, cooked with organic and locally grown foods. You will buy shares in the Co-op and can reduce your share’s cost by volunteering to cook, once-a-month, together with your neighbors in the Y’s industrial kitchen (the Y is under the supervision of the Vaad Harabbanim of Riverdale.) Once each month, Co-op shareholders will come to the Y to take home freshly cooked, healthy meals for their family. We are also considering a once-a-season sit-down dinner for shareholders at the Y -- let’s cook and eat healthy, together! Sign up for details by emailing MMichael@RiverdaleY.org
Kosher Cooking for Kids
While Co-op shareholder parents are cooking in the Y’s kitchen, their children (ages 6-12) can sign up for a fun cooking class in the Y’s smaller Kern Teaching Kitchen. You can get details about this class by emailing MMichael@RiverdaleY.org

UJA-Federation’s Connect to Care Responds to Growing Needs of Families Affected by Economic Downturn
With the unemployment rate in the New York area the highest it’s been in more than 30 years, agencies are naturally seeing a dramatic rise in the number of people in need of benefits, career and therapeutic counseling, financial consulting, and other services. Exacerbating the situation is the fact that many of these people are newly in need, have never needed assistance before, and are unfamiliar or embarrassed about how to access the services they need. UJA-Federation’s Connect to Care initiative is designed to provide help across the economic spectrum and offer services through a unique collaboration among UJA-Federation, 10 beneficiary agencies, and area synagogues.
The services offered at each UJA-Federation Connect to Care center, and at a number of other satellite locations, include:
• Employment and career-transition services, including job networking opportunities and career seminars.
• Financial consulting, debt counseling, and budget assistance.
• Legal services.
• Supportive counseling and Jewish spiritual care.
