Shana Tova! It’s Rosh Hashanah and we’re just a few short weeks away from opening our restaurant in Richmond so naturally, it’s the perfect time for a @soultacorestaurant taco collab just to make sure everyone is sufficiently excited!

Come by Soul Taco Shockoe -1215 East Main Street for a Zigni brisket birria taco! Delicious, slow cooked Eritrean spiced brisket topped with melted cheese, cilantro and onions - served with a consommé dipping sauce.

JewFro was born from a place of open discussion on controversial topics and dialogue to further understanding of complex issues. Today we stand for unity and a push for open conversation on the complex issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This weekend, we closed out our final week at JewFro! The last 2 months were a whirlwind and we can hardly believe it’s already over!

Thank you for trusting us and consistently getting on board with our crazy ideas!

For those of you who are sad to see JewFro go, don’t worry because, we’ve definitely got something up our sleeve...
