Fress Takes: A Shabbat Experience with Micah Siva - October 9, 2026

Shabbat is the original slow dinner party — and nobody makes it feel more joyful, accessible, or delicious than Micah Siva. A trained chef, registered dietitian, and author of the beloved cookbook NOSH: Plant Forward Recipes Celebrating Modern Jewish Cuisine, Micah has spent her career reimagining the Jewish table for a new generation. On this Friday night, she's bringing her plant-forward kitchen to Columbus for a Shabbat dinner experience that's equal parts meal, cooking class, and community gathering. Micah will demo recipes from her kitchen, share her tips for making Shabbat a weekly ritual worth showing up for, and lead a conversation about how food connects us to culture, memory, and each other — whether you've been doing Shabbat your whole life or you've never lit a candle before. All are welcome at this table.
