Israeli Sephardic Passover Seder, 7:30 P.M.
Raffi Cohen, Raphael, Tel Aviv
A frontrunner of New Israeli cooking, pedigreed chef Raffi Cohen combines French elegance with Moroccan flare at his Tel Aviv restaurant Raphael. For this year’s Beard House Passover celebration, Cohen’s fresh take on the traditional Sephardic Seder will evoke the growth and renewal of the Israeli spring. This spirited evening, led by Naama Shefi and Ronit Vered, will also feature award-winning Golan Heights Winery wines. We'll fête the holiday with dishes like Fava Bean, Cilantro, and Leek Soup with Jerusalem Artichoke Cream; Samna-Braised Rice-Stuffed Black Cabbage with Uzbek Raisins; and Lamb Shank and Lamb Chop with Corn Couscous and Celery.
