  • Gender, Acculturation, and American Jewish Cookbooks: 1870S-1930S
    Becoming American in the Kitchen: Gender, Acculturation, and American Jewish Cookbooks: 1870s-1930s By Roselyn Bell A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Jewish Studies Written under the direction of Nancy Sinkoff And approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS: BECOMING AMERICAN IN THE KITCHEN: GENDER, ACCULTURATION, AND AMERICAN JEWISH COOKBOOKS: 1870s-1930s By ROSELYN M. BELL Thesis Director: Dr. Nancy Sinkoff This thesis examines American Jewish cookbooks from the 1870s through the 1930s as artifacts of acculturation—in particular, the acculturation process of Jewish women as distinct from that of Jewish men. These cookbooks are gendered primary documents in that they were written by women and for women, and they reflect messages about women’s place in society coming from the broad American cultural climate and from Jewish sources. In serving charitable ends, the cookbooks mirror the American Protestant notion that women’s spirituality is expressed through good deeds of philanthropy. They also reveal lessons about health and hygiene directed at new immigrants to make them and their children accepted in mainstream society, and fads and fashions of hostessing that were being imitated by Jewish women. These elements of “becoming American” were more significant in the acculturation process of Jewish women than of Jewish men. ii Cookbooks, particularly those of the fund-raising charitable variety, were instruments for building women’s sense of community. Through community cookbooks, women in the sisterhoods of synagogues as well as in other philanthropic groups could assert control over a portion of the budget of the synagogue or charitable institution.

  • Jewish-Grandma Cooking for the Small-Plate Generation a New Restaurant and Bar Above the 2Nd Ave Deli Refines, with Admirable Panache, a Cuisine That Is Fading Away
    Jewish-Grandma Cooking for the Small-Plate Generation A new restaurant and bar above the 2nd Ave Deli refines, with admirable panache, a cuisine that is fading away. By Hannah Goldfield Photograph by Zachary Zavislak for The New Yorker Jewish deli food and appetizing are not the world’s sexiest culinary traditions (it’s hard to sound cool asking for a “schmear”), but in the past few years a wave of restaurants with young proprietors—Mile End, Russ & Daughters Café, Frankel’s—have remarketed pastrami sandwiches and bagels with smoked fish to appeal to a new generation. At 2nd Floor Bar & Essen (Yiddish for “food”), above the 2nd Ave Deli, on the Upper East Side, the millennial makeover goes a step further: the kinds of Old World dishes my great- grandmother made for her family of eight in their East 105th Street tenement kitchen are given the fussy small-plate treatment. A dish called Herring in a Fur Coat contains “pumpernickel dust.” Sprats are “maple smoked” and served upon “toasted country bread.” Tongue is sandwiched between “challah medallions” with “dill aioli.” Hickory-smoked grapefruit is seasoned with pastrami spices. Photograph by Zachary Zavislak for The New Yorker It seems, at first, like the stuff of parody. The Chesterfield-style tufted-leather booths (a nod, presumably, to the early twentieth century, when my great-grandmother arrived at Ellis Island) are roomy and comfortable, but the pre-electricity-level lighting turns even twentysomethings on JSwipe dates into their boomer parents, straining to make out the all-Israeli wine list with iPhone flashlights.

The Memory by Grzegorz Gregorczyk Greg explains why he became interested in Polish-Jewish history. The Ivansk “Virtual Cemetery” by Arthur E. Zimmerman (Toronto, Canada) When the Ivansk Project was being set up over a year ago, the Ivansk Action Committee decided upon various research projects and priorities to try to somehow bring alive the town of our ancestors. We determined to collect oral histories from the original Ivanskers, those who lived there and remembered what Jewish life was like in the shtetl; to try to find the rumoured Kesten-Brauner map of pre-WW II Ivansk; to look into trying to find a way to restore the cemetery; and to gather up the names of the Holocaust victims to eventually put together a Yiskor Book for the vanished Jewish town. This last objective would be done in part with information retrieved from the archives of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and in part from the memories of relatives. We have collected quite a few rich oral histories from people who were born and brought up in Ivansk.

Hurst Associated Press writer WASHINGTON — President Obama is asking consumers to put their money — up to $1,300 per new vehicle by 2016 — behind his plan for higher efficiency standards for cars and trucks and tougher rules on their greenhouse gas emissions. In return, Obama said Tuesday in unveiling the plan, drivers would make up the higher cost of more fuel-efficient, cleaner vehicles by buying less gas at the pump. It would take just three years to pay off the investment and would, over the life of a vehicle, save about $2,800 through better gas mileage, the president said. While requiring that vehicle carbon dioxide emissions be reduced by about one-third by the target date, the plan also calls for the auto industry to build vehicles that average 35.5 miles per gallon.
