Update: 2021-01-06
Description
In this class we will explore the intersection between two major topics of Jewish law and culture: food and community.

Through a variety of Jewish texts and practices we will see how the questions of whom to break bread with and whom not is a key portal to understanding how different Jewish communities conceptualized their identities and missions.
