Bay Area Passover: Chef-approved matzo ball soup, charoset bars and Passover Panzanella

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:59 GMT

Israeli-born chef Aliza Grayevsky Somekh is known for her seders. Ever since moving from Jerusalem to the Bay Area in 2012, the Oakland-based chef has been organizing and cooking the Passover meal for the greater community through her food and catering business, Bishulim SF.She’d often welcome up to 85 friends and strangers — Jews and non-Jews alike — with matzo ball soup and lead them in a retelling of the Exodus story that was inclusive and relevant. During the pandemic, those Passover meals were stuffed into boxes and delivered to guests who met on Zoom. Needless to say, Somekh has been eager to return to in-person seders.“Last year wasn’t the right time, because people weren’t excited to sit together yet,” says Somekh, who is teaming up with Oakland’s Mica Talmor for a first-time community seder at Talmor’s restaurant, Pomella, on April 6. “Now, they are ready. And working with Mica is a no-brainer. (Pomella) is the rig...

(KRON) -- The Oakland Police Officers Association said the city is "stonewalling" it regarding information on the cyber security breach Oakland experienced in February, which led to city employees' personal data being compromised, according to a news released from OPOA. The association said it has tried to contact city officials about the matter several times but has not received a response.“Oakland city leaders talk about accountability, yet there has been zero accountability and a deafening silence for the safety and financial security of the city’s valued employees.” OPOA president Barry Donelan said. “This city is truly broken when city employees learn more about the release of their confidential information from the media than their employer, whose incompetence and sloppy security allows these data breaches to occur.”  3 children killed in ‘active shooter’ incident at Nashville school; shooter dead OPOA said it first wrote a letter to the city administration dated March 6 see...
