Throughout the month of May, Beverly Hills honors the rich legacy and enduring contributions of Jewish Americans with a citywide celebration of culture, community, and cuisine. Held across a range of venues, Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM) invites residents and visitors alike to join in a series of events that highlight a community deeply women into the city’s cultural fabric.

The month’s programming featured some of the most meaningful and engaging events of the spring and summer season in Los Angeles:

• Kickoff celebration at the Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market

  JAHM began with a flavorful opening event at the Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market, where hundreds gathered to experience the sights, sounds, and tastes of Jewish American culture. This year’s kickoff was held on May 4. Some of the highlights include:

• Rugelach baking contest: A friendly showcase of home bakers competing to craft the most delectable renditions of this beloved Jewish pastry. Brooke Kahn won first place with her raspberry walnut rugelach.
• Gondi & matzo ball soup contest: A culinary faceoff featuring time-honored and inventive takes on two iconic comfort foods. Devorah Illulian took first place with her gondi soup recipe.
• Weekly Movie Screenings: Roxbury Reels

  Each week, cinema enthusiasts are invited to Roxbury Park’s Community Center every Thursday for the entire month of May for Roxbury Reels, a film series that celebrates Jewish identity, resilience, humor, and history. From romantic comedies like Crossing Delancey to dramatic features such as Munich and Woman in Gold, the screenings offer space for reflection, connection, and shared experience.

• A night at the theater: Lebensraum

  As part of this year’s JAHM, the West Coast Jewish Theatre presented a staged reading of Lebensraum by Israel Horovitz on May 15 at the historic Greystone Theatre. The play imagined a German chancellor inviting six million Jews to return to Germany as a form of reparation, unfolding through a series of intimate, intersecting stories that explored the emotional and political complexities of such a proposal.

  Performed by a skilled ensemble and followed by a post-show discussion, the evening offered a powerful reflection on memory, identity, and reconciliation in one of Beverly Hills’ most storied venues.

• The Jewish American Foodie
  Held on May 19, The Jewish American Foodie was a standout event in this year’s Jewish American Heritage Month lineup—a panel discussion that explored Iranian-American Jewish cuisine and identity through the lens of California’s fresh, seasonal produce. The conversation brought together restaurateurs, food writers, and journalists, each offering personal stories and cultural insights on how food serves as a powerful link to heritage and community.
