Outdoor Jewish Food Festival adds basketball tourney

This month, the community is invited to participate in an outdoor culinary celebration of Jewish heritage and culture.

The Levite Jewish Community Center (LJCC) will be hosting its 13th annual Jewish Food Festival on Oct. 11 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. The event will again take place on Levite Field with live music and local vendors.

Traditional Jewish foods, deli items and Israeli street food will be cooked in-house in celebration of the Jewish fall harvest holiday of Sukkot. The menu will include brisket, stuffed cabbage, matzah ball soup, falafel and corned beef sandwiches.  

This year the event will also feature a new Terry Drake three-on-three basketball presented by Goudy Construction. Contact Spencer Lynch at spencer@bhamjcc.org for more information on it.

The Levite Jewish Community Center has been in Birmingham since 1906 and is a family-oriented recreational and educational facility as well as a United Way agency. The facility offers a wide array of programs and activities in sports and fitness, childcare, education and more.
