We celebrate the holidays with reflections, stories, music and prayers in English, Hebrew and Yiddish A new festival this fall, formed by a partnership among three local orga- nizations, will celebrate Windsor’s rich cultural diversity and its sense of unity, according to its organizers. “This is really all about how food brings people together,” Jay Katz, executive director of the Windsor Jewish Community Centre said of Hummus Festival 2018. “We want to showcase the variety of food that’s here, but we also wanted to cel- ebrate our uniquely collegial com- munity, which makes us one of the most desirable places to live and one of Canada’s best-kept secrets. And besides, who doesn’t love hummus?” Hummus Festival will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, at Catholic Central High School. The event, organized by the Windsor Jewish Community Centre, the Windsor Islamic Association and the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board, will bring together local restaurants to show- case their versions of the traditional Middle Eastern staple, as well as other hummus-inspired dishes. “Our school seemed like the most logical place to host the event,” said Danielle Desjardins-Koloff, principal at Catholic Central High School, 441 Tecumseh Road East in Windsor. “Our student body is made up of kids from more than 70 different countries, so we celebrate cultural diversity every single day.” Mirza Baig, president of the Windsor Islamic Association, said, “Besides being an opportunity for local residents to enjoy some excel- lent cuisine, this event will provide people with the chance to meet and interact with those they might not get to otherwise. “Socializing over food is a won- derful way to break down barriers and learn about the similarities that unite us as people who share this community.” Besides eating excellent local food, those who attend Hummus Fest will also get to enjoy some great entertainment, including the Light of East Ensemble, an Ontario group whose repertoire encompasses traditional, folk, Classical Arabic, Sephardic, Greek Rembetika and 20th-century urban music from such regions as Armenia, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Israel. Tickets are $5.

Intended for sophomores and juniors, but open to seniors cur- rently applying to colleges and uni- versities, the seminars meet for three sessions where students develop the writing skills to help their voice stand out from the crowd during the application process. Session one focuses on “who am I and who do I want to be”; session two empowers students to actively select colleges that will help them achieve their goals; and session three puts every- thing together toward finishing an essay that responds to one of the Common Application questions. “Because One Earth Writing focus- es on empowering teens, we wanted to help take some of the stress out of the college application process and help students realize they have power in this process,” says Lynne Golodner, CEO and founder of One Eath Writing. Five sessions will be offered dur- ing the 2018-2019 academic year. For locations and dates, visit oneearthwriting.org/programs/ higher-learning. •
