Jewish Food Through Song and Film (NFDS2952)Five-week ONLINE course, beginning on Saturday Nov 10th
Instructor: Laura Silver

Description: This course offers a taste of eastern European and American Jewish culture through songs, films, and personal narratives about food. We explore the Jewish experience and cultural and religious identities through foods that came to the United States by way of Jewish immigrants from Russia, Poland, and Romania. Traditional foods and their modern-day incarnations guide our exploration of Ashkenazi Jewish identity, culture, and peoplehood. We use Yiddish and Hebrew expressions to decode words and phrases we encounter in our explorations from the Old World to the New, from the Pale of Settlement to the sidewalks of the Lower East Side and the suburbs of middle America.
