Shabbat Under The Stars
Featuring Chef Britni DeLeon and Kasia Bednarz | Saturday, August 2, 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM Long Grove, IL
About The Series
Shabbat Under the Stars is a summer series hosted by the Institute of Soil and Soul. We gather in the field to share good food, meaningful connection, and the quiet rhythms of a sacred pause. Each event features a different chef and a new interpretation of what Shabbat can taste and feel like when rooted in the land.
A Summer Feast to Remember
This summer, Shabbat Under the Stars returns—an intimate dinner series where culinary artists and farmers come together to create soulful, seasonal meals in the open air.
Each dinner invites a guest chef to reinterpret Shabbat through food, bringing new flavors, stories, and meaning to the table. This isn’t just a meal—it’s a gathering of neighbors, a celebration of seasonality, and a moment of rest from the digital world.
