Matters of Taste is the signature event of JCDS, Boston's Jewish Community Day School. The event begins with a reception which is free of charge and open to the community, and takes place at JCDS. Following the reception, guests go to one of over 20 dinners at homes in the Greater Boston area, each featuring a Special Guest - someone prominent in his or her field. Dinners also take place in Israel on the same evening. Proceeds from Matters of Taste benefit the Flexible Tuition Fund, the JCDS tuition assistance program that allows the school to make a Jewish day school education accessible to an economically diverse population.
