The Jewish Arts Collaborative promotes "Israeli" artistic and cultural events, which glorify Israel and whitewash over the realities of Israel's colonial subjugation of Palestinians and theft of Palestinian land and resources. As part of its 2021 Restaurant Week, for example, Jewish Arts Collaborative sponsored "an Israeli culinary tour" called "Taste of Israel," under the tagline "Israeli food is so much more than hummus and falafel." Sponsors and supporters of The Jewish Arts Collaborative include the Consulate General of Israel to New England, Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP), the Klarman Family Foundation, and the Krupp Family Foundation.
