ow do you get Jews from all walks of life under one roof, interacting with one another? To Shifra Klein, founder and editor of Fleishigs Magazine, the creator of KosherPalooza, the answer is obvious. “We really believe that food brings people together,” she said. “This event brought that idea to life.” Joel Wolh of Powwow Events and co-founder of the
show shares this sentiment. “It was incredible to see our vision to create a fun, fabulous (and educational) food experience come to life.” When I arrived at the Meadowlands in Secaucus, NJ, on June 28, people were already streaming in from all directions, climbing the stairs festooned with purple and yellow balloons to receive their badges and tote bags of the same colors, as the scent of freshly
popped popcorn wafted out to entice eager attendees. A group of women of all ages huddled together, giggling and chatting, for a photo. They were teachers from Crown Heights celebrating their summer freedom and had come to KosherPalooza for food and fun. My niece, whom I met unexpectedly later, agreed. “What better way to spend a day off than with food?” she explained. Indeed, there was something for OCTOBER 2023 Fleishigs

RECAP I KOSHER PALOOZA
A BIG THANK YOU TO APRON MASTERS, AJ MADISON, GOURMET GLATT AND PRESTIGE KITCHENS The demos and Chopped-style competition at KosherPalooza would not have been successful without the expert planning and execution from Apron Masters, the appliances from AJ Madison, the cabinets and countertops from Prestige Kitchens and the food from Gourmet Glatt. The Apron Masters team which included Sharona Furman, Roee Mordechai, Eliana Furman, Hagit Needleman and Ariel Benzakein did a fabulous job of preparing everything that was needed for the 12+ food shows that took place. Apron Masters Kitchen, located in Woodmere, NY, is the first recreational kosher-certified cooking school on Long Island that caters to both children and adults. Apron Masters Kitchen (AMK) is a highend, home-style kitchen complete with a group cooking space and formal dining room where guests can enjoy communal meals. AMK hosts classes, special events, competitions, demonstrations, product launches, food photography and more in the 2,400 square foot home-style kitchen. The versatile space can accommodate virtually any type of event. Apron Masters Kitchen is under the kosher supervision of the Vaad of the Five Towns and Far Rockaway. AJ Madison, Brooklyn’s premier appliance showroom, outfitted the entire kitchen at KosherPalooza with appliances that will soon be raffled off to one lucky winner! The kitchen was designed by Prestige Kitchens, who supplied cabinets and countertops to finish the fully functional kitchen.
