Chosen Food: Cuisine, Culture and American Jewish Identity

Through May 27, 2013

There’s more to Jewish Food than Matzoh Balls..

Food is a means to observe and to celebrate, to maintain tradition and to produce new meaning.

The Breman’s new exhibition, Chosen Food: Cuisine, Culture, and American Jewish Identity, examines the history of Jewish food in America from bagels to tzimmes, and everything in between. Chosen Food also asks visitors to consider if traditional Jewish values inform the contemporary debates regarding ethical eating and food sustainability.

This exhibition explores the diversity of Jewish foods and traditions from European immigrants of the 19th century to the nouveau deli’s of today.

In our gallery you will move from kitchen to dining room to banquet hall interacting with stories that highlight the shared experiences of Jews in America. This is an exhibition for the whole family that encourages generations to share and learn from one another.

Chosen Food: Cuisine, Culture, and American Jewish Identity was created by the Jewish Museum of Maryland. Sponsored by The National Endowment for the Humanities and The Herbert Breman Foundation.
