What is “Jewish Food”?
Wed May 20 – 1pm
Definitions of "Jewish food" have changed dramatically over time and around the world. Jewish cuisine has developed in times of scarcity as well as times of abundance, and the boundaries of Jewish food have highlighted issues of class, gender, and privilege. In this conversation, Dr. Rachel B. Gross and Dr. Jordan Rosenblum will discuss what "Jewish food" means in the age of social distancing, drawing on a wide range of primary sources, from rabbinic debates to manufacturers' advertisements.
Presenter/Host: Dr. Rachel B. Gross, Assistant Professor at San Francisco State University, and Dr. Jordan Rosenblum, Professor of Classical Judaism at the University of Wisconsin–Madison
