North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation Invites the Community to “Brisket & Brews” Sukkot Celebration

August 26, 2026 | Member Submitted

TAHOE VISTA, Calif. — North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation will host Brisket & Brews, a community Sukkot celebration, on Saturday, September 26, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the congregation in Tahoe Vista. The afternoon will feature slow-smoked brisket, a craft beer tasting, live music, and crafts for children. Music will be provided by Subra Doyle and Joey of local rock band, The Wreckords.

The event is open to the public, and no membership or religious affiliation is required to attend. Advance brisket platters are $25, discounted from the $36 door price, and children’s plates are $18 and include a drink ticket. Beers will be available for $5. Tickets are available at https://qrco.de/brisketandbrews Proceeds support the congregation’s programming and mission.

Sukkot, the weeklong Jewish harvest festival, begins at sundown on September 25 this year. It is traditionally observed by gathering, sharing meals and welcoming guests – a custom the congregation says shaped the event from the start.

“Sukkot is the holiday where you build a structure called a Sukkah, with the roof left open and then invite people in. Hospitality isn’t a nice extra on this holiday – it’s the whole assignment. So, we put the brisket on the smoker for a few days, we open the doors, and whoever walks through them is a guest at our table, whether we’ve known them for thirty years or thirty seconds.”

— Stephanie Silver Koehler, Event Chair, Board of Directors, North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation

The brisket will be smoked on site by local smoker Carl Stump. Music will be provided by Subra Doyle and Joey of local rock band, The Wreckords, canned craft beers will be provided in partnership with Incline Spirits & Cigars, and the pumpkin decorating station is sponsored by Grocery Outlet – Incline Village. 

The congregation is also seeking craft sponsors or providers for the event, local businesses to take part. Sponsors receive recognition on event signage and in the congregation’s social media and community email. Businesses interested in sponsoring can get more information on the ticket form. 

North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation serves Jewish families and individuals across the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee region and welcomes visitors and second-home owners throughout the year. North Tahoe Hebrew Congregation has served the North Tahoe and Truckee communities for more than forty years, beginning with holiday services in members’ living rooms in 1979 and formally organizing in 1982, and has gathered in its own synagogue and community center in Tahoe Vista since 2002. The Reform congregation welcomes Jewish families, individuals, visitors and second-home owners throughout the year.

Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Announces Refreshing Summer Menus at Osteria Sierra

July 1, 2026 | Member Submitted

Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino, an award-winning resort nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of North Lake Tahoe, announces new lunch and dinner menus at Osteria Sierra, featuring fresh Italian flavors, family-friendly dining, and seasonal shared dishes.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the summer season with the introduction of new menus at Osteria Sierra,” said Shay Prince, Chef de Cuisine at Osteria Sierra inside Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino. “Whether guests are enjoying a casual lunch al fresco on our gorgeous patio or gathering with family after a day on the lake, these new offerings were thoughtfully created to bring people together over delicious Italian cuisine inspired by fresh ingredients and elevated flavors.”

The new lunch menu introduces a selection of Piadina, traditional Italian flatbread sandwiches, grilled to order. Guests can choose from selections including the caprese piadina with mozzarella, tomato and pistachio pesto; the prosciutto piadina with crezcenza cheese and arugula; and the steak & peppers piadina with marinated grilled steak, sweet peppers and salsa verde. A build-your-own piadina option allows guests to customize their meal with a selection of proteins, cheeses, and house-made sauces. 

Osteria Sierra’s new dinner menu now includes family-style options that serve four, making it easy for guests to share a meal together. Highlights include chicken bucatini pasta, bison & pancetta meatballs, chicken piccata, family-style caesar and garden salads, among several other delicious dishes.

House-made pasta remains a signature of Osteria Sierra, with Chef Shay Prince and his culinary team preparing fresh pasta and ravioli daily using traditional Italian techniques and seasonal ingredients.

In The News – Why Truckee-Tahoe restaurants are expanding to Reno

January 22, 2026 | Member Submitted

Originally published in the Tahoe Daily Tribune, 1/22/2026, Written by Petra Molina

From Sage Leaf to Tahoe Bagel Co. and FiftyFifty Brewing Co., several Truckee/Tahoe-based restaurants are expanding beyond the Truckee-Tahoe region. For some owners, the decision reflects business realities, with Reno offering opportunities the lake can’t.

“In Incline, we’re three lights long — we’re very small,” said Lara Hammett, owner of Sage Leaf. “We only have so many restaurants here and so many spaces that can even house a restaurant. We’ve kind of maxed out our footprint, and we don’t really want to compete with ourselves.”

Hammett said the team considered expanding to Kings Beach, Tahoe City and South Lake Tahoe, but as a Nevada-based business, opening a location in California would have meant navigating a new regulatory environment. Instead, they decided to move away from the lake. Sage Leaf is set to open a Reno location next month.
