Jews are what Jews Eat: Community Construction, Social Belonging, and Jewish Foods
Join Dr. Jacob Ari Labendz (Ramapo College) for an exploration of how Jews and non-Jews have sought to mark the essence and social boundaries of Jewishness through food—from cultivation, through preparation, to consumption. Topics will include Judaism’s complex system of laws and traditions around food, attempts to police community boundaries and assert the nature of Jewish difference through food restrictions (or their inversion), inter-communal and intra-Jewish tensions as expressed through contests over food, and the rising trend of Jewish veganism. No experience necessary. Questions are most welcome!
