Would you like to have dinner with President Obama’s former Director of the Economic Council? Or explore Israel’s shifting internal divides with an Israel Correspondent and regular New York Times contributor? Want to hear from two preeminent thinkers about the joy and health of food? Imagine getting the inside scoop from an award winning journalist on mob boss Whitey Bulger’s life of crime, corruption and capture.

We start the night with a festive and fun cocktail reception at school with student exhibitions and celebration. The evening continues with a series of simultaneous, privately-hosted dinners. Each featuring a delectable meal and lively conversation with a renowned special guest from the world of politics, business, journalism, science, health care, or the arts.

To satisfy your intellectual appetite, join us for this year’s Matters of Taste event!

Now you know what an absolutely savory evening Matters of Taste promises to be. Here are some answers to questions you may have about the event:

Why is it so important?

All proceeds from Matters of Taste benefit the JCDS Flexible Tuition Fund, the financial aid program that provides assistance to our students and enables all of us to benefit from an economically diverse community. Through the Fund, JCDS makes an outstanding Jewish day school education more accessible and affordable while investing in the future of the Jewish community.

How does it work?

Matters of Taste dinners take place around Greater Boston and Israel. Your invitation booklet provides details about the special guests and distinguished hosts, so that you can choose the dinner party you would like to attend. Seating is on a first come basis and sponsors receive priority, so you’ll want to RSVP quickly to reserve your place at your preferred dinner. 

Who is invited?

Can I get just a “taste” of Matters of Taste?

YES! Come to the festive pre-event cocktail reception at the school. Here, parents, friends, supporters, grandparents, and members of the community at large get to sample the school’s mission and vision. You may choose to attend the reception only or as part of your dinner ticket. (Like the Matters of Taste dinners, this reception is for adults only.)
