After four years of scaled-back formats, the Tampa Bay Jewish Food Festival returns in full, with dishes that kept people coming back in the first place: matzah ball soup, corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, knishes, kugel, and more. <\/p>\n

And there will be plenty of sweets like babka, rugelach, hamantaschen and black-and-white cookies. <\/p>\n

Beyond the food, the festival at Temple B\u2019nai Israel doubles as a community gathering, with local vendors, Jewish organizations, a kids\u2019 play area and a live music stage filling the synagogue grounds. <\/p>\n

Guests are encouraged to bring a canned or nonperishable item to donate to local food pantries. It\u2019s rain or shine, cashless and free to attend.<\/p>\n

There is no cover for Tampa Bay Jewish Food Festival, happening Sunday, Feb. 23 in Clearwater.<\/a><\/p>\n
