Summer is winding down, but there has been so much happening at Mosaic! 💛

From farmers markets and challah sell-outs to weddings, milestone birthdays, camp dinners and community celebrations, it has been a very full summer. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, I had an unexpected full-circle moment that reminded me just how much owning a business is about learning, growing and doing better the next time.

I shared a little summer catch-up — and a story that has stayed with me — on the blog:

This week has been busy! The community is getting back into the swing of things as summer starts winding down. Kids are coming home from camp — including mine — and somehow we are already talking about school starting again. We still have a couple of weeks left of farmers markets, so come visit ...

Getting back to life. ❤️

This week has felt a little more normal — getting back into the rhythm of work, seeing the café get busier, preparing for weddings and the High Holidays, and looking ahead to our next Israeli Brunch.

At the same time, I’m learning that moving forward doesn’t mean leaving the memories behind. Sometimes work, food, family, and memories all overlap in ways you don’t expect.

I wrote a little about what this week has felt like and what’s coming up at Mosaic:

And don’t forget — our next Israeli Brunch is August 16th. I’d really love to see a full room. ❤️

The school year is getting started, and it feels like life is beginning to return to its non-summer rhythm. For me personally, this week has felt a little more normal too — and yet I keep wondering, should it? We recently prepared a meal of consolation and a shiva meal for a family, and the

Some recipes are more than ingredients—they're memories.

After losing my mom, planning her meal of consolation brought me back to the desserts she lovingly made for our family. Every cookie, bar, and sweet treat carried a story, reminding me how food has the power to bring us home, no matter how much time has passed.

I shared that journey in my latest blog, and I hope it resonates with anyone who has ever found comfort in a family recipe or a favorite dessert.

I'd love to hear from you—what dessert instantly takes you back to your childhood or reminds you of someone you love? ❤️

The Cocoon of Shiva

One of the most unexpected parts of grief is what happens after the funeral—when the visitors begin to leave, the meals stop coming, and life slowly starts moving forward, even if you're not ready.

Shiva creates something incredibly special: a cocoon. A space where you're surrounded by love, community, and permission to simply grieve. But eventually, that cocoon opens, and stepping back into everyday life can feel overwhelming.

I wrote about that experience in this week's blog, in the hope that it helps anyone who has walked this path—or is supporting someone who is.

If it resonates with you, I'd be honored if you shared it with someone who may need it. ❤️

This week has been one of the hardest and most emotional weeks of my life. It has only been a week since we buried my mom and sat shiva. In my work, I walk alongside families during these moments all the time. I know the traditions. I know the logistics. I know how important they

This week's blog is a little more personal than usual.

With my mom in the ICU after emergency surgery, I've been reminded how quickly life can change—and how food has a way of bringing comfort when words sometimes can't.

It's a reflection on family, Shabbat memories, warm challah, community, and the incredible kindness we've experienced this week.

If you've ever found comfort in a favorite recipe or the smell of something baking, I hope it resonates with you.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, prayed, brought meals, and supported our family. It means more than you know.

This week has been one of the hardest I can remember. My mom underwent emergency surgery and is now in the ICU, still fighting and healing. These are the moments we all hope never come, yet so many of us experience them at some point in our lives. They have a way of stopping everything

A week full of community ❤️

One of the greatest joys of running the café isn't just the food—it's watching people gather. This past week we welcomed Men's Club members before their program, families celebrating the start of summer, grandparents and grandchildren sharing lunch, students studying for finals, teachers taking a break from training, residents from Ovation, and so many friends catching up over a meal.

These moments remind us that a café can be so much more than a place to eat. It can be a place to connect, build relationships, and strengthen community. That's why we love what we do.

We're also excited to share that the café will be open all summer with our regular hours, and we hope you'll stop by and spend some time with us. ☀️

Based on the blog's theme of people gathering across generations and groups in the café.

This week was one of those weeks that reminded me exactly why we opened the café. On Tuesdays, we always enjoy welcoming the Men's Club before their program. It's become a regular part of their routine, and we love seeing them gather, visit, and spend time together around the table. Wednesday broug...

Two Events. One Community.

Some nights remind us why we do what we do.

Recently, the Mosaic team had the privilege of serving two very different events on the same evening—each bringing people together through food, connection, and community. While the events themselves were unique, the purpose was the same: creating meaningful experiences around the table.

Read more about the evening and what it meant to our team:

At Mosaic, we're grateful for every opportunity to help celebrate, commemorate, and connect our community.

This Wednesday, we had the honor of catering two events at the same time. I love being part of such a busy and vibrant community, although it can be challenging when I can't physically be everywhere at once! One event was the Annual Meeting at the Harry & Rose Samson Family JCC. We have had

Food is never just food ❤️

Some of life’s most meaningful moments happen around a table — celebrating milestones, comforting one another, carrying traditions forward, and simply making time to connect. At Mosaic, that’s why we believe food is about so much more than what’s on the plate.

We wrote a little about that idea and why it matters so much to us.

We’d love to hear — what’s a meal you still remember years later? 💙

It has been interesting lately because I have gone down a bit of a rabbit hole at home trying to remove most ultra-processed foods. I will admit, for me this was probably not as dramatic of a change as it would be for many people, but it has still been an interesting journey. One of
