They say that “you are what you eat.” But you are also what you don’t eat, how you eat it, and with whom. Examine the history of Jewish eating from the Bible to Brooklyn, asking how Jews have expressed their identities through the ages through their eating practices and food choices. Learn how kashrut has developed through the generations, and how those developments reflect on the struggles of Jewish identity in every age.
