It's wonderful when you have the opportunity to explore the different cultures our beautiful city has to offer. So, I was so happy to have the opportunity to attend the Richmond Jewish Food Festival.
This two day festival offered Jewish and Isreali groceries, music, vendors and , of course food. This event was held at the Weinstein Jewish Community Center.
My family and I had a wonderful time as we purchased items from vendors and, of course, enjoyed various foods from the Jewish culture.
