Ritual food for every festival. Double portions for shabbat. A Jewish nose. A Jewish tuchas. 'Body Image" is already a minefield, but in Jewish spaces, it comes with its own set of complexities. From cultural expectations to communal pressures, how do these factors shape the way we see ourselves? Join The Jewish Independent's assistant editor Ruby Kraner-Tucci and Jaimee Kravitz, CEO and founder of the Hide N Seek Foundation, for a special in-conversation that dares to tackle the taboo.

Their session will be part of the Tikkun Leil Shavuot program offered by Kehilat Kolenu and Habonim Dror. The Jewish Independent will be sponsoring a hot chocolate and coffee cart from 8pm - 10pm.
