Program Description

Event Details

Jewish food history—like Jewish history in general—is complicated.

What makes Jewish cooking unique is the ancient dietary laws that govern the selection, preparation, and consumption of observant Jews. Food plays a major part in rituals past and present, binding family and community together. Discover the biblical origins of Jewish foods and symbolism as we connect the dots between these biblical roots and today’s Jewish cuisine.

Jewish Food history is interesting and exciting, especially when you uncover little-known facts and episodes, the more surprising the better. But as one of the most mobile nations in history (perhaps the most mobile), Jewish food has a history that is sometimes as complex as that of the nation itself.

This is Part 1 of 2 classes.  The second class will be held on April 24th at 1:00 pm.

Registration required.  Register at dfla.org or call the library at 480-488-2286.
