From Ancient Roots to Modern Plates

Embark on a culinary journey that explores the diverse heritage of Jewish-Israeli cuisine and its cultural significance. From Ancient Roots to Modern Plates, hosted at the Jewish Museum of Florida on Monday, March 3, delves into the evolution of this distinctive culinary tradition.

This collaborative presentation by the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU and the Steven J. Green School of International & Public Affairs examines how historical influences, migration patterns and social dynamics have shaped contemporary Israeli food culture. The evening takes an anthropological approach to understanding the relationship between Israeli society and its culinary practices.

Guests will be welcomed with complimentary drinks before the lecture, setting the stage for an enlightening discussion about the intersection of food, culture and identity. Following the presentation, attendees can experience these concepts firsthand during a reception featuring a selection of dishes that illustrate the evening's themes.
