We will also be offering an opportunity to purchase lunch from our neighbors “Taboonia” inspired by their owners journey to Wellness:
What started as a healing journey soon transformed into something more: the creation of Taboonia. We are inspired by this journey, the owner Raif, a surveyor of the October 7th attack at the Nova Festival, he shares “I want to make connections between people, with good, healthy food.” We have invited Raif to set up shop at our Fair and sell two of his popular dishes. Druze unique Pita sandwiches and Bourekas. The shop will be open from 11 – 3pm during our Wellness event. Vegetarian and Vegan options.
