    'Hebrew' refers to a language, whether the ritual language of Jewish prayer and the Bible or the contemporary language of Israel. It does not commonly refer to food. You will hear 'Israeli' food as a reference to common dishes you will encounter in Israel: Israeli salad, humous, felafel, etc. 'Jewish' food is a term commonly heard in the United States to refer to the culinary traditions of Jews, principally from Eastern European ancestry, to refer to common Jewish foods or dishes: bagels and lox, chicken soup, gefilte fish, etc. 'Kosher' food refers to any food or dish that is prepared according to the Jewish religious dietary regulations derived from the Bible and refined in rabbinic tradition: separation of meat and dairy dishes, exclusion of pork and seafood, consumption of meat only from kosher slaughtered animals, etc. Having said all this, it's hard to know exactly what food the Hadassah organization was selling, perhaps kosher food, probably Jewish dishes, possibly Israeli foods.
