Thank you for purchasing a VIP ticket for our Human Rights Awards. Your support allows the New Israel Fund to continue to work towards a democratic, just, and equal society for all in Israel.

In addition to our Human Rights Awards, we are please to be partnering once again with Honey & Co for a special access event from 6:30 – 7:30pm on Tuesday 9 November.

During the live event we’ll be cooking a whole burnt aubergine with charred egg yolk, tahini and chilli sauce & chicken shish in sweet confit garlic marinade. Showing us how it’s done will be ‘The Honeys’ – Sarit and Itamar. Both recipes are available in Honey & Co’s new cookbook Chasing Smoke.

The event will be held over Zoom. You will be emailed the link the day before the event, and the link will be posted here.

If you would like to cook along, you will need a grill or barbeque, and skewers for the chicken shish.
