A local organization is trying a new way to satisfy the community’s cravings for traditional Jewish foods.
Every other year, Temple Israel Sisterhood hosts the Art and Jewish Food Festival in Akron. This year, they will be taking orders through a digital deli.
Carol Friedman, one the volunteer organizers, says orders will be taken in September and October. The food will then be available for pickup on Nov. 3 at a temple drive thru.
“People will just drive through the temple. There will be a drive thru with signs," Friedman says. "And you’ll just come and pick up your food. We’ll have the order ready.”
The event will occur on “off-years” of the Art and Jewish Food Festival, Friedman says. The pop-up drive thru will serve many of the same dishes found at past festivals, including her mother Freda's famous stuffed cabbage, as well as a vegeterian version. They will also offer black and white cookies, the large cakelike cookies with half vanilla and half chocolate frosting that originated in the Jewish bakeries of New York City. The menu also includes gluten-free rugelach and coffee cake not prepared in a gluten-free facility.
Orders can be placed online from Tuesday, Sept. 3 through Tuesday, Oct. 15th. Pickup is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3.
