Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The reader travels not just across time but also across oceans and disciplines in order to analyze various aspects of food and Jewish law and practice: kashrut, Jewish cookbooks, food and ways of cooking as ethnic markers, the role of food in the kabbalah and in Hasidism, and Jewish food practices in the context of Christianity and Islam. Reflections on a Recently Discovered Form of Holocaust Literature brings up the role food played in the worst of circumstances; in concentration camps emaciated women found that talking and writing about the foods they remembered making for their no longer existing families a way of palliating the tragedy they were living.
