12 Tribes: A New Kind of Farm to Table
Rabbi Rebecca Joseph changed one letter and started a business. Last August, she launched the first kosher and sustainable CSD — Community Supported Dinnerculture project— a tasty riff on a CSA (community supported agriculture project).

Shabbat Meals: Creating Our Own Culinary Legacy
Peer into a Jewish household on a Friday night, and you’ll have an instant window into that family’s food legacy.
