Faculty Seminar: Jews Talking About Food - 130 Years of Jewish Life at Brown

Description

Abstract:
Event description: Food has always been central to Jewish life, from time-honored traditions handed down across the generations to fusion cuisines that take their inspiration from Jewish diasporic communities across the globe. Jeffrey Yoskowitz, co-author of “The Gefilte Manifesto: New Recipes for Old World Jewish Foods” and owner of The Gefilteria, will discuss new Jewish cuisine, his career as a food entrepreneur, and his focus on food as a student at Brown. He will be in conversation with Rachel Herz, neuroscientist and author of “Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food,” which explores how our senses, brain, and psychology govern our perception of food and the experiences and consequences of eating. Moderator Susan Ferber '93, Executive editor for American and world history at Oxford University Press. Speakers Rachel Herz, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior; Jeffrey Yoskowitz ’07, Owner of The Gefilteria
