Thank you to our volunteers.
What is Noah’s Pudding?
Noah’s pudding, also known as “Aşure” in Turkish, is a traditional dessert with a rich history and cultural significance. It is typically prepared and enjoyed during the Islamic month of Muharram, especially on the 10th day, known as Ashura, which holds religious significance for both Muslims and Jews.
The pudding is made from a combination of various grains, legumes, dried fruits, and nuts, symbolizing the unity and diversity of ingredients. These ingredients often include wheat, barley, chickpeas, beans, lentils, rice, dried apricots, raisins, figs, and various types of nuts like walnuts and almonds. The mixture is sweetened with sugar or a sweet syrup, and fragrant spices like cinnamon and cloves are added for flavor.
The preparation of Noah pudding is a communal activity in many cultures, bringing families and communities together. It is cooked in large quantities to be shared with friends, neighbors, and those in need. This act of sharing reflects the spirit of compassion, generosity, and unity.
Noah’s pudding is not only a delicious dessert but also a symbol of harmony, diversity, and solidarity among different cultures and religions. It is a reminder of the importance of coming together, helping one another, and celebrating the shared values of humanity.
Silver Sage Foundation Reno hosted a Noah’s Pudding sharing event on August 20, 2023, at the Spanish Spring Presbyterian Church and First Methodist Church.
Noah’s pudding is a traditional Middle Eastern dish that is made with a variety of ingredients, including grains, nuts, fruits, and spices. It is said to have originated when Noah’s Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat after the flood. The family of Noah celebrated their survival by creating a pudding made from the remaining food supplies on the ark.
The Silver Sage Foundation’s Noah’s Pudding sharing event is a way to celebrate diversity and community. The pudding symbolizes hope and renewal, and the event is a chance for people of all backgrounds to come together and share a meal.
The Silver sage Foundation Reno chapter hosted a panel discussion on the topic of “Abraham’s hospitality and sacrifice” on June 29 at the Spanish Springs Presbyterian Church. The discussion was moderated by Semra Özdemir outreach volunteer at the Silver Sage Foundation. The panelists included Tom Willadsen the Pastor of Spanish Springs Ppresbyterian church, Benjamin Katz the Rabbi of Temple of Emanu-El, and Ayse Tandogan volunteer at Silver Sage Foundation.
The panelists discussed the story of Abraham from a variety of perspectives, including historical, theological, and ethical. They explored the themes of hospitality, sacrifice, and obedience in the story, and they considered how these themes are relevant to our own lives today. The discussion was lively and thought-provoking, and it generated a lot of discussion among the audience.
What a great day our volunteers had! It’s great to see our volunteers and others coming together to participate in the Ponderosa Planting event organized by the Southern Nevada Conservancy at Mt Charleston. Silversage Foundation volunteers planted over 100 ponderosa trees which is a significant contribution to the preservation of nature in our area. Taking action to protect the environment is crucial for the well-being of our planet and future generations. By planting trees, we are not only helping to beautify the landscape but also playing a vital role in combating climate change, providing habitats for wildlife, and improving air quality. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) emphasizes the importance of planting trees and caring for the environment by saying: Even if the resurrection were established upon one of you while he has in his hand a sapling, let him plant it. It encourages individuals to take responsibility for nurturing and preserving nature, even if they were in the midst of a significant event like resurrection. Thank you to all of our volunteers! Thank you Southern Nevada Conservancy for organizing the tree planting event. Keep up the fantastic work folks!!
