If food is a language, what can it tell us about history? Join YIVO’s Director of Education Ben Kaplan live from New York for a talk about the history of Ashkenazi Jewish food through an exploration of culinary treasures found in the YIVO archives. Drawing from YIVO’s online course, A Seat at the Table: A Journey into Jewish Food, this live presentation includes photographs, menus and advertisements documenting the history of Ashkenazi Jewish foodways and their ongoing evolution, through immigration, acculturation and culinary innovation. A special foodie celebration!
Recorded live on December 16, 2020 10 am AEST.
