Hazon is Hebrew for "vision."

The word hazon is Hebrew for "vision."

Hazon's vision is to create a healthier and more sustainable Jewish community -- as a step towards a healthier and more sustainable world for all.

Jewish food traditions are rich and ancient. From rabbis discussing the finer points of kashrut to Jewish holidays being in tune with the agriculture seasons, food is at the very core of Judaism. In addition, today growing numbers of Jews are thinking more responsibly about food - about sustainable agriculture, about genetically modified produce and about nutrition. The Hazon Food Conference is at the forefront of a national movement that explores the intersection of Jewish life and contemporary food issues.

The 3rd Annual Hazon Food Conference will bring together foodies, educators, rabbis, farmers, nutritionists, chefs, students food writers, and families who share a passion for learning about and celebrating food. Join us for inspiring lectures and discussions, hands-on cooking sessions, family-family activities, an inclusive Shabbat and Chanukah celebration, and delicious, consciously prepared food.
