Facilitator Training Course – "Neighborhood Table"

Let’s create together a place, time, and way to meet, cook, and eat together—as part of the neighborhood routine!

“Neighborhood Table” is a project that connects food, sustainability, and community, and invites you to be part of a group that will cook, learn, and create a tradition of neighborhood cooking gatherings together.

What will we do together?

We will learn about the principles of healthy, sustainable nutrition; cook and eat together; and share knowledge, experience, and recipes.

We will meet people and community initiatives, create new connections, and discover how cooking together can become a tool for strengthening the neighborhood community.

Along the way, we will begin forming a group that can later plan, organize, and lead community cooking gatherings.

What will we cook together?

• Community
• Seasonal and local food
• Rescued food (Have you heard of “TsambuZ”?)
• Meals from the garden and nature
• A Mediterranean menu (plant-based, legumes, and whole grains)
• Recipes and traditions from home

When and where?

Tuesdays | 18:00–20:30

Municipal Sustainability Center, Dizengoff Center

Who is it suitable for?

Residents of Tel Aviv–Jaffa who love food and people and want to take an active part in community life in their neighborhood. No professional experience in cooking or group leadership is required—only curiosity, a desire to learn and do things together, and an interest in continuing the community activity!

Important to know:

1. At this stage, registration is for the five gatherings of the first round only. In the second round, it will be possible to continue the process, gain experience leading gatherings, or join as new participants. Continuing to the second round is not mandatory, but we would especially welcome those who wish to take part in the journey ahead.

2. The program is intended for city residents who wish to take an active part in community life, with the possibility of later taking part in leading neighborhood food gatherings approximately once a month.

3. After completing the registration form, we will contact you for an introductory conversation and to coordinate expectations. Completing the form does not guarantee a place in the program.

4. The gatherings will take place in a vegetarian–dairy cooking space. We cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
