Catherine Goldberg, Jewish journalist and Los Angeles entrepreneur, has been using cannabis for many years to curve her anxiety. Growing up in Miami as a homosexual Jew she has always been one to go against the crowd and found that cannabis was a great way to slow down the constant chatter in her mind. Ever since she found the healing benefits of cannabis she has vowed to educate others and share the power of the plant any way she could.
Since moving to California six years ago Catherine launched BrainBuzz, a neuromarketing consulting company, once focused on the tech world, but has now expanded into the cannabis industry. Catherine has used this platform as a way to share fun, relatable stories about marijuana with the hopes of educating the masses about cannabis usage and its benefits.
Last month Catherine decided to host the first Jewish based food and cannabis pairing event, titled Chai Havdalah*, in Los Angeles under the banner of Weedbar LA.
Chai Havdalah was created as a celebration to end Shabbat. Shabbat is a special day where the Jewish community has nothing to worry about – essentially it is an extra day to celebrate! Catherine figured there was no better way to celebrate than with some amazing food, cannabis, live music, and good company.
Chai Havdalah -Denver
This year Chai Havdalah is coming to Denver, the meca of legal weed, on Saturday August 19, 2017 from 8-11pm. Participants will be invited to build their own infused bagels by Rosenberg’s Bagels, snack on some medicated and non-medicated treats by Amanda Glücklich, and cannabis sponsored by Willy’s Reserve. There will also be LED hula dancers and a DIY seed bomb station.
If you are wondering if you have to be Jewish to attend the answer is no! If you have even a slight interest in Jewish food and an even greater passion for good company and cannabis this event is for you.
