The Dishes of our Lives: Jewish Cookbooks, Jewish Stories

Tuesdays, March 4, 11, 18, 25, 7:00 p.m.

Wherever there are Jews, there is food. But Jewish food is much more than just susenance. Jewish food tells a story - our story - of a holiday, a time in our history or a relationship with another culture. This four-week course will explore the nature of Jewish cooking using Jewish cookbooks. What tales do these cookbooks tell? What can we learn about the Jewish history and the Jewish people behind the recipes? How can we bring these dishes into our lives and infuse them with another layer of meaning?
