  • Marion: I Travelled from My Home in Toronto, Canada, to Brooklyn, New York, Because of Gefilte Fish
    Marion: I travelled from my home in Toronto, Canada, to Brooklyn, New York, because of gefilte fish. Many Jewish foods are adored and celebrated but gefilte fish isn't one of them. Can two young authors and entrepreneurs restore its reputation? I'm Marion Kane, Food Sleuth®, and welcome to "Sittin' in the Kitchen®". Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz are co-authors of The Gefilte Manifesto and co-owners of The Gefilteria. Their goal is to champion Jewish foods like gefilte fish, give them a tasty makeover and earn them the respect they deserve. I first met Liz when she appeared on a panel at the Toronto Ashkenaz Festival. I knew immediately that I had to have her on my podcast. We talked at her apartment in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Marion: Let's sit down and talk Ashkenazi food - and gefilte fish in particular. I'm going to ask you to introduce yourselves. Liz: My name's Liz Alpern. I am the co-owner of The Gefilteria and co-author of The Gefilte Manifesto. Jeffrey: My name is Jeffrey Yoskowitz. I am the co-owner and chief pickler of The Gefilteria, and I am a co-author of The Gefilte Manifesto cookbook. Marion: You're both Jewish and Ashkenazi. Liz: Yes, we're both of Eastern European Jewish descent. Marion: Gefilte fish - we have to address this matter. I want to read a description of gefilte fish of the worst kind. Quote, "Bland, intractably beige, and (most unforgivably of all) suspended in jelly, the bottled version seemed to have been fashioned, golem-like, from a combination of packing material and crushed hope." Liz & Jeffrey: (laugh) Marion: That's a very unfavorable review of gefilte fish.

Contact: [email protected] Kreplach Kayos Covid A Short Story by Marleen S. Barr Professor Sondra Lear, a feminist science fiction scholar par excellence, no longer loved living in the Empire State Building’s shadow. Although Sondra thought that science fiction texts were nice respectable places to visit, she absolutely did not want to live in one. She wished that the Empire State could strike back faster against the corona virus. Quarantining in a city reduced to a mere shadow of its former self was wearing thin. Perusing the New York Times and listening to Governor Cuomo’s press briefings now qualified as being a full day’s work. When Cuomo ended his remarks by as usual mentioning “New York toughness,” Sondra began to nap on her sofa. The sound of something going bump in the afternoon roused her from her boredom-induced torpor. She half-heartedly opened one eye and gazed directly at a familiar figure floating below her ceiling fan. Upon immediately recognizing the dark-suited man hovering above, she stared at him with two eyes wide open. Even though she was a science fiction scholar and, hence, used to the unreal, Sondra failed to believe that Governor Cuomo could at once be sitting at his briefing and levitating in her apartment.

  • 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.
