Babka by Ayélet in Palo Alto is now offering brunch items on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Choices include borekas with Israeli salad, or muesli with fruit and a small babka.

After 15 years in Jack London Square, Jewish-owned Dashe Cellars has announced it is moving to Alameda. The lease was up and rent became untenable, so Anne and Michael Dashe are moving the whole operation to “Spirits Alley” at Alameda Point. A final going-away party will be held at the Oakland location on Saturday, May 11, starting at noon. It has been the site of a Jewish community event or two over the years.
