Our Team

The Lehem Zeh team brings together educators, chefs, therapists, researchers, and community leaders who believe in the healing power of food.


Each member contributes unique expertise — from social-emotional pedagogy and community health to culinary arts and program design — creating a multidisciplinary force for change.

Our leadership and field teams collaborate closely with schools, municipalities, and medical institutions to ensure that every initiative is grounded in both evidence and empathy.

Together, we are cultivating the next generation of educators and health professionals who see food not just as a meal, but as a medium for wellbeing, dialogue, and renewal.
