Exclusive Smoked Meat Feast with Live Music Draws Haredi Crowd to Ein Hemed Forest

A new culinary trend is captivating the Haredi community with a luxurious smoked meat feast held in the scenic Ein Hemed forest near Jerusalem. This unique event features an all-you-can-eat selection of premium smoked meats, unlimited beer and wine, and a high standard of kosher certification by Badatz Harav Shmuel Halevi Wosner. Guests enjoy a blend of traditional and modern cooking techniques, including 12-hour smoked picanha, tender asado, and a signature lamb shank slow-cooked in an underground pit with Persian freekeh and tamarind sauce.

The feast begins with warm kubaneh bread and an array of artistic salads such as Korean-style beef tartare and prime roast beef. Desserts include campfire marshmallows, authentic baklava, and black coffee brewed over the fire. Adding to the atmosphere, renowned singers Shimi Weiss and Meni Cohen will perform soulful and spiritual songs around the campfire on Thursday, August 13, the eve of Rosh Chodesh Elul.

Despite the event’s exclusivity and typically high costs, the "Komzitz" restaurant offers a special introductory price of 350 shekels per person, covering unlimited food and drinks plus concert admission. Due to overwhelming demand and the desire to maintain an intimate boutique experience, only a few spots remain for this highly anticipated summer evening in the Haredi sector.
