We hope you enjoyed your chance to join the thinkers and doers of the New Jewish Food Movement – where contemporary food conversations meet ancient Jewish traditions. The Hazon Food Conference is the only place in the world where farmers and rabbis, nutritionists and chefs, vegans and omnivores, come together to explore the dynamic interplay of food, Jewish tradition and contemporary life.

The fourth annual Hazon Food Conference was at the forefront of a national movement that explores the intersection of Jewish life and contemporary food issues. Conference themes focused on Jewish food culture, cutting edge food law and policy, food justice, kosher meat issues, health and nutrition, cooking and gardening, and Israeli food and agriculture. 

Participants came together for four days of do-it-yourself food workshops, cooking demonstrations, lectures, discussions, kids and family activities, joyful Shabbat celebrations, and of course, delicious and consciously prepared food.

The Hazon Food Conference is an inclusive community that welcomes everyone interested in Jewish life, the environment, and contemporary food issues.   We welcome those from across the spectrum of Jewish practice or knowledge, people from other religious backgrounds, and all gender identities and sexual orientations.  The Hazon Food Conference provides a comfortable space for all to engage with Jewish culture and food issues!
