Speaker Bios

Adeena Sussman, is a cookbook author, writer, and proud home cook whose work explores the intersection of Jewish and Israeli and culinary cultures. Her new cookbook, Zariz: 100 Easy, Breezy, Tel Aviv-y Recipes, was released in April. Her last cookbook, Shabbat: Recipes and Rituals From My Table To Yours, released in September 2023, was an instant New York Times best seller. Shabbat is the follow-up to Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors From My Israeli Kitchen, which was named a Best Fall 2019 cookbook by The New York Times, Bon Appetit, and Food & Wine. Prior to writing her own works, Adeena co-authored 15 cookbooks, including three New York Times bestsellers with Chrissy Teigen. Adeena has written or been featured in The Wall Street Journal. The New York Times, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine and countless other publications. She graduated with honors from both Boston University's College of Communications and The Institute of Culinary Education. Adeena cooks and writes in Tel Aviv, where she lives in the shadow of that city's Carmel Market with her husband, Jay Shofet.

Sharon Wieder, RDN, is a registered dietitian in private practice in New Jersey. The mother of three children and three grandchildren, Sharon is a serial volunteer with too many good deeds to her name to list (this is her sister bragging). In 2005, she was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma while her and Adeena's mother, Steffi z"l, was in the final stages of her own cancer battle. Sharon opted for a double mastectomy and had a full recovery. During her cancer journey, she was the beneficiary of Sharsheret's breast cancer support services. After Steffi died in February 2006, Sharon and Adeena approached Sharsheret with the idea of expanding their reach to include support for women and their families living with an ovarian cancer diagnosis. Soon thereafter they launched the Pies For Prevention bake sale, which raised the seed money to launch Sharsheret's ovarian cancer programming. Sixteen years later, there are bake sales in dozens of cities each year and the Pies For Prevention bake sale has raised over a million dollars.
