Thank you for this story. I'm a Substack food writer who has been thinking a lot about cooking/foods/restaurants associated with the Israeli diaspora. It is, indeed, a wonderful unifying force if not, somehow, a metaphoric role model for how disperate peoples could come together. Hoorah for these wonderful chefs and idealists.

Are Palestinian chefs welcome also? As someone with many close Jewish relatives, I found this article problematic on many levels when Gaza is being leveled. I hope you do better.
