While the world turns its undivided attention on events in the Ukraine, other no less serious threats to world peace pass almost unnoticed by a global audience fixated on one major war only. The recent successful missile test launched by North Korea has wide ranging implications. Watch this video filmed two years ago giving an informative background about the rogue nation’s military capability, including its potential to do crippling damage in a volatile region. The fact that such incidents pass in the shadows, while the world turns the other way, is grave cause for concern as it gives broad allowance for greater damage to be caused.

This is a selected event due to the great talent of the artist, and the amazing story of a Jewish revival following the horrific events of World War 2
Growing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling is an exhibition of contemporary paintings and personal narratives, by artist Jacqueline Kott-Wolle, exploring the key people, experiences, and community that shaped her distinctly North American brand of Jewish identity. Kott-Wolle, who came of age in the late 20th century, draws upon decades of family photos for inspiration. The exhibit includes playful images of Jewish holiday and ritual observances; moments at Hebrew school and summer camp; vacations as well as milestone celebrations marked by the artist’s family through the years. Paired with the artist’s own narration, Kott-Wolle asks ‘what does it mean to be Jewish for past, present and future generations in North America?’Kott-Wolle’s Jewish identity was informed by the experiences of her parents and grandparents who arrived in Canada in 1949 after the Holocaust. As a member of the ‘Second Generation’ the artist also reflects on how her forebears faced the enormous task of starting over upon surviving one of modern history’s darkest chapters. The exhibit includes paintings of this colorful cast of characters as they rebuild their lives and flourish in North America’s vibrant Jewish communities.
Growing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling speaks to the resilience of newcomers who must navigate a painful past, contend with tradition and summon optimism for the future. Painted in a fresh palette of color, Growing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling traces the story of one North American Jewish family through five generations from 1925 to the present.
Jacqueline has exhibited her work in both group and solo exhibitions and lectures frequently for many organizations about her current exhibit “Growing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling”, most notably for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Museum of Jewish Heritage NYC. Jacqueline’s works are in private collections throughout the United States, Canada and Israel.
The restaurant industry was generally already in a steady decline worldwide before the Covid pandemic lent its destructive hand. Conversely, being locked up for so many years, sorry should have said locked down but what’s the difference, has actually served to increase an appetite to dine out. As you can see puns come my way without even trying! So where does the restaurateur go from here? For those supporting the concept that we need to strengthen bonds between Jewish communities, despite political differences, this article might just be a life-saver.
Restaurants face stiff competition at the best of times, and while having an irresistible cuisine plays the pivotal role, providing an ambient atmosphere runs a close second, unless one is operating a take-out service only. Fortunately there are well tested innovative ways of increasing visitors to your establishment. The name of the game is hosting events not only for private parties, but for your regular customers and prospective ones alike.
The Restaurant Event Ideas That Will Help You Win Customers
Restaurant events are a great way of exciting your guests, elevating the overall customer experience and increasing the restaurant sales.
If you are hosting unique restaurant events it would get people talking and will get more guests to your restaurant’s door.
Here is a list of some amazing and novel restaurant event ideas that will keep your patrons hooked to your restaurant.
1. Celebrating The “Not-So-Popular” Holidays
Almost all the restaurant in the US host events on common holidays like Christmas, but it is celebrating the “not-so-popular” days that counts!
Hosting events on unpopular holidays is a tactful move. Not many restaurants will be hosting events on that day and the competition would be limited. This will help you draw in more customers to your restaurant.
For example, on Star Wars Day(May 4th), you can host a Star Wars themed party. Invite all the “Star-Warriors” to have a gala time at your restaurant.
You can hand out a discount voucher or a free meal pass to the best-dressed guest. As rewards are a great way of enticing people.
Small holidays like the one mentioned above give you several opportunities to host events that help you attract more people.
2. Hosting Karaoke Nights
Several restaurants and bars in the US host karaoke night that shouldn’t stop you from hosting one at your restaurant!
Make your karaoke night event a little unique to stand out. Turn the good old karaoke night into a singing competition.
Let your guests compete against each other for an hour or so. Later reward the best singer with a complimentary drink or a starter.
Rewards add the fuel to the fire, it will encourage people to come forward and let loose.
3. Charity Events
Hosting charity events is also a good way of giving back to the community. This will not only help you attract customers but will also enhance the goodwill of your brand.
You can collaborate with a local NGO and host an event for a cause. Let the NGO officials host awareness events at your restaurants.
You can also donate a part of the sales you make that night to an NGO you believe is doing good for a cause.
4. Pre-Fixe Menu Nights
Hosting pre-fixe menu nights is an excellent new concept you can make use of. Curate an enticing pre-fixe menu of the meals that are not easily available in that region. Such events give people a taste of the best food from around the world.
For example, Jardinière restaurant in San Francisco is best known for hosting pre-fixe menu nights every Monday. The dinners are inspired by the different locations from around the world!
Recently, they have started with an event called “Noches en Mexico”. It’s a pre-fixe menu night that takes the people on a culinary adventure through Mexico.
5. Hosting A Guest Chef/Bartender
You might have the best chef/bartender in town but inviting a guest chef/bartender introduces some freshness!
You can have the guest chef/bartender come in every month and introduce a new menu item or an innovative cocktail.
You can also invite a celebrity chef/bartender if your pocket allows! You can have them talk about their signature cooking/mixing styles. Let them show their skills, let them put a show behind the bar or the cooking station!
6. Host live gigs
Hosting live gigs is one of the most popular restaurant event ideas that can never go out of style!
You can have a local band perform at your restaurant or invite a famous singer if that fits your budget. That is not all, you can have a stand-up comedy night at your restaurant as well. You can also organize an open mic night and encourage not just professionals but your guests to show off their talent be it singing, comedy, poetry, etc.
Events like these make people happy and will make them stay for longer.
Making people stay longer means they will be splurging more, which will increase per check value.
7. Speed Dating Nights/ Singles Nights
This event might sound a little strange but can have a huge impact on your restaurant’s sales. You can consider hosting speed dating nights where singles can meet new people at your restaurant.
Such events attract the local crowd and are a great way of luring in newbies. You can partner up with local dating services and offer discounts to people coming to your restaurant through that dating site/app.
This is definitely an out-of-box restaurant event idea that is sure to attract a lot of people!
Restaurant events help in making your restaurant the talk of the town. These restaurant event ideas are bound to help you do that!
While there are some common events like Taco Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays, etc. people are constantly looking for something innovative.
Come up with a restaurant event idea that goes with the theme of your restaurant, but avoid the events that disrupt the peace of your regular guests.
Global warming may not be amusing or surprising but it is still the most important thing that’s happening at this moment. Contemporary climate change includes both global warming and its impacts on Earth’s weather patterns. There have been previous periods of climate change, but the current changes are distinctly more rapid and not due to natural causes. Instead, they are caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. Burning fossil fuels for energy use creates most of these emissions. Agriculture, steelmaking, cement production, and forest loss are additional sources. Greenhouse gases are transparent to sunlight, allowing it through to heat the Earth’s surface. When the Earth emits that heat as infrared radiation the gases absorb it, trapping the heat near the Earth’s surface. As the planet heats up it causes changes like the loss of sunlight-reflecting snow cover, amplifying global warming.
On land, temperatures have risen about twice as fast as the global average. Deserts are expanding, while heat waves and wildfires are becoming more common. Increased warming in the Arctic has contributed to melting permafrost, glacial retreat and sea ice loss. Higher temperatures are also causing more intense storms and other weather extremes. Rapid environmental change in mountains, coral reefs, and the Arctic is forcing many species to relocate or become extinct. Climate change threatens people with food and water scarcity, increased flooding, extreme heat, more disease, and economic loss. Human migration and conflict can be a result. The World Health Organization calls climate change the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century. Even if efforts to minimise future warming are successful, some effects will continue for centuries. These include sea level rise, and warmer, more acidic oceans.
Many of these impacts are already felt at the current level of warming (1.2 °C). Additional warming will increase these impacts and may trigger tipping points, such as the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, nations collectively agreed to keep warming “well under 2 °C”. However, with pledges made under the Agreement, global warming would still reach about 2.7 °C by the end of the century. Limiting warming to 1.5 °C will require halving emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
