Join us for this special evening as we celebrate a decade of Bigvision.
For ten years, Bigvision has been building a safe, vibrant community where young adults in recovery can thrive. From sports and arts to mindfulness and connection, we’ve hosted hundreds of programs that have touched thousands of lives.
This milestone is more than an anniversary;
it is proof that recovery is full of joy, hope, and belonging.

Mike Solomonov, together with his twenty-year business partner Steve Cook, has redefined Israeli cuisine in the U.S., and beyond. With five James Beard Awards, including Zahav’s “Outstanding Restaurant” accolade in 2019, he is celebrated for honoring Israel’s diverse culinary traditions through innovative flavors and vibrant settings. His Philadelphia-based restaurant group includes beloved concepts like Dizengoff, Goldie, K'Far, Laser Wolf and Jaffa Bar, with recent expansion in New York, and as of March 2025, expansion to Miami as well, with a new spot — AVIV — inside the 1 Hotel South Beach. Through his acclaimed cookbooks and the launch of Zahav Restaurant Recipe Hummus at grocery stores nationwide, Mike continues to share his signature approach to Israeli flavors with a nationwide audience. Outside of the restaurants, you can often find Mike with Steve at Pho 75 in South Philly, working out the kinks in their Israeli village.
