A gathering of more than 2,000 celebrated Jewish food, music and culture on August 14 at the Foundry Arts Centre in St. Charles.

The Chabad Jewish Center of St. Charles County sponsored the second annual St. Charles Jewish Festival.

Musical highlights included the St. Louis Jewish group Shakshuka and the American Chassidic pop rock band 8th Day.

Kosher food was available and attendees learned how to make kosher pickles.
