Join The Hive and Jeighborhood in welcoming Lara Worm from Bivouac Ciderworks in a special Earth Day-inspired food tasting and cider pairing dinner, accompanied by an interactive discussion of Judaism, social and environmental practices, our global community, and Lara’s personal story and unique business path.
The dinner will explore the concept of L’dor v’ dor, from generation to generation, as it applies to Jewish teachings of protection and farming of the Earth, and what it means for our community to pass down memories, traditions, and even businesses. As we enter this spring season with a renewed sense of hope and reflection, we should take lessons from our Jewish history and teachings, and recognize the importance of maintaining the bonds from generation to generation.
You won’t want to miss this fun, interesting, and delicious Shabbat by the Sea!
Guests can purchase a table (up to six guests) for their own pod, or sit at a community table to make new friends (register soon – we can only honor GF and vegan dietary preferences submitted by Monday, April 17th)!
Please email Paige Milgrom-Hills if you have additional questions or need support.

Meet Our Speaker:
Lara Worm, co-founder & CEO of Bivouac Ciderworks, is a native San Diegan, raised in her family’s multi-generational food business. After college, Lara blazed her own trail, pursuing her legal education at the George Washington University Law School in DC, and a decade-long career with the United States Attorney’s Office. With a twist of fate, Lara has found herself back in the world of hospitality in Bivouac Ciderworks, an outdoor-inspired craft cider brand with a tasting room & restaurant in North Park, San Diego.

Stacie and Jeff Cook understand commitment. They live it.
Black, Jewish and Queer. These three identities weave the fabric of who I am, but it took a long time to believe that they could exist together.
Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.
Lifelong Baltimoreans, Rabbi George and Alison Wielechowski and their sons, 11-year-old Lennon and 9-year-old Gideon, are more than pursuing the good life in Southern California. Having moved to San Diego more than three years ago, they are fulfilling a lifelong dream.
You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
