Israeli Culture through the Lens of Multicultural Cuisine

On February 1, 2022 award winning author Joan Nathan joined us to discuss the varieties of Israeli cuisine and how it reflects the wide range of ethnic diversity of the nation.

Since she first lived in Israel in the 1970s, Joan has loved Israeli food. In this lecture, she introduced our audience to the history of cooking in the land of Israel as well as told the human stories behind dishes both biblical and modern in Israel today and how they have changed over the years to reflect the current social, political, and environmental landscape.
