Tayere Mendelyaner,

Please mark your calendars for a free public program at the Mid-Manhattan
Library of The New York Public Library, sponsored by the Dorot Jewish
Division.

"Seasoned with Song: Sacred Music of the Ashkenazic Sabbath Meals"
with Dr. Eve Jochnowitz

Thursday, March 31, 2016, 6:30 p.m.

PROGRAM LOCATION:

Mid-Manhattan Library, 40th St. and 5th Avenue
Fully accessible to wheelchairs

Free and open to the public
First come, first served
Generously sponsored by the Dorot Jewish Division

The Sabbath meals and their songs are repeatedly cited as being among the
chief pleasures and obligations of the Sabbath, codified with the Talmudic
injunction that on the Sabbath Jews should eat, drink, discuss Torah, and
sing songs. Two traditions connect the Sabbath Zmires with Sabbath  foods:
the belief that the songs alone are nourishment, and the mystical tradition
that food is itself a form of worship.  This presentation examines some of
the surprising cultural phenomena of the genre of zmires within and outside
their traditional setting.

Eve Jochnowitz has been teaching Yiddish Language, Culture, and Literature,
as well as Yiddish Foodways and Dance for twenty years. She worked for
several years as a cook and baker and received her Ph.D. on the subject of
Jewish culinary ethnography in the department of Performance Studies from
New York University. She has lectured both in the United States and abroad
on food in Jewish tradition, religion, and ritual as well as food in
Yiddish performance and popular culture. She blogs in English and Yiddish
at inmolaraan.blogspot.com and is the co-host with Rukhl Schaechter
Ejdelman, of Est Gezunterheyt! a cooking show in Yiddish.   The Vilna
Vegetarian Cookbook, translated, annotated, and adapted for the modern
kitchen, was published this year.  Dr. Jochnowitz is the chocolate lady.
