Hazon

The word hazon is Hebrew for "vision."

Isabella Freedman works closely with Hazon to achieve its vision of creating a healthier and more sustainable Jewish community as a step toward building a healthier and more sustainable world for all. Hazon carries out its mission through programs that incorporate outdoor physical challenges and opportunities to look at food through the double prism of Jewish tradition and contemporary life.

Hazon Food Conference

December 24 – 27, 2009
Asilomar Conference and Retreat Center
On the Monterey Coast, CA

Jewish food traditions are rich and ancient. From the finer points of kashrut to the synchronicity of the Jewish holidays and their agricultural seasons, food is at the very core of Judaism. Isabella Freedman is proud to co-sponsor the Hazon Food Conference which brings together educators, rabbis, farmers, nutritionists, chefs, home cooks, food writers and families who share a passion for learning about and celebrating food. Experience inspiring lectures and discussions, hands-on cooking sessions, family-family activities, an inclusive Shabbat and Chanukah celebration and delicious, consciously prepared food. Now in its third year, this conference is at the forefront of an emerging national movement that explores the intersection of Jewish life and contemporary food issues, and we invite you to become a part of it.
