On October 10, 2006, the Jewish Home opened its doors to over 550 guests for Someone’s in the Kitchen 2006. Forty-one top chefs from the Bay Area and beyond wowed each table with its own three-course feast featuring specialties from the best restaurants around.

Thanks to our extraordinary Stirring Committee, all our guests, and our generous sponsors. You made the event a huge success. Record-setting proceeds will fund the activities and services that make the Jewish Home renowned in caring for seniors.
