\n\tIn a town full of transplants, the Passover holiday presents a unique challenge for Jewish residents without immedia<\/a>te family in the area. I\u2019m speaking from experience. Every year, I wonder (read: stress) about the three whos: who will take us in, who will lead-and-read and who will doing the cooking? <\/p>\n

\n\tA Passover seder is intended to be an annual rite of passage, as so many religions have in some form, but the menu if almost as challenging as the Hebrew prayers recited and symbolic rituals recreated, to say nothing of the downer stories of slavery, plagues and all-around suffering. <\/p>\n

\n\tCold fish balls and dry flatbread doesn\u2019t sound all that enticing \u2014 yes, it\u2019s ultimately all about the food \u2014 which is why I was so enchanted to learn of an elevated interfaith seder experience right here in Beverly Hills, courtesy of dining institution Spago. <\/p>\n

\n\tLeave it to Barbara Lazaroff, co-founder and owner of\u00a0restaurant (and the former Mrs. Wolfgang Puck), to host, curate and fundraise an evening that she calls \u201ca sophisticated twist on the traditional Seder meal,\u201d adding, \u201cdare we say, your grandmother would be asking for the recipes.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIndeed, I attended last year and was wowed by the quality \u2014 and quantity! \u2014 of the creative, multi-course meal which has all the pizazz of Spago\u2019s staple offerings. The 2025 edition is to be held on April 13.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpago executive\u00a0chef Ari Rosenson,\u00a0chef de cuisine\u00a0Areg Avanessian\u00a0and executive pastry chef\u00a0Della Gossett\u00a0present a menu that includes homemade gefilte fish, chicken and vegetable matzo ball soup, roasted wild Alaskan king salmon, braised beef short rib \u201cFlanken,\u201d vegetable ratatouille and roasted Moroccan carrots. For desert: matzo toffee, fromage blanc cheesecake, Passover puffs with caramel sauce and sorbet.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEverything is made in-house,\u201d says Lazaroff. \u201cAnd the oven-baked matzah is the biggest hit each year; guests are gifted with a package to take home, along with our delicious coconut macaroons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe restaurant itself, meanwhile, is transformed with ballroom-like precision into a full-scale event space complete with a stage for musical performances and remarks.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to gathering an eclectic room of local luminaries, Hollywood powerhouses and otherwise interesting people, the event serves to help feed and support underserved families in L.A. via the benefit\u00a0MAZON and the Jewish Response to Hunger, a nonprofit working to end hunger among all faiths and backgrounds in the United States and Israel. <\/p>\n

\n\tMultiple seatings are offered, starting at 5 p.m. Head over to Seven Rooms for more info<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
