Thank you Alix Wall🌺

In 2022, two Bay Area eateries, the Israeli restaurant Holy Land and the vegan mini-chain Flying Falafel, closed down.

Dear Friends,

I put my head in the sand. I couldn’t face it or talk about it, but it's time: after so many years of being a vital part of our community, I had to make the impossible decision to close the restaurant.

We’ve had many wonderful, vibrant moments. Connections and relationships were formed in this place, many of which turned into lifelong friendships. I enjoyed and am so, so proud of being open for 33(!) years, continuing my mother's dream and passion. Thank you, mom, for giving me this amazing gift by teaching me how to cook your wonderful dishes. I know you see it all from wherever you are now in heaven. Thank you to the dedicated work team that stayed with me for so many years. Thank you to the most amazing clientele, whom I’ve come to know personally. Thank you to Oakland. I will always cherish your amazing support over the years and during the pandemic.

But it's not over yet...
I still offer Holy Land’s wonderful food and an extended menu for catering, as well as private and group cooking lessons.

I hope to see you as I keep feeding the bay area with love,
❤️
Miri
