On the 300th anniversary of the Vilna Gaon, the intellectual and spiritual leader of one of the most influential Jewish communities in history, chefs Jeffrey Yoskowitz (Gefilteria, Brooklyn, The Gefilte Manifesto cookbook, and Co-Executive Producer, The Great Big Jewish Food Festival) and Nida Degutiene (A Taste of Israel: From classic Litvak to modern Israeli) join us to discuss Lithuanian-Jewish cuisine and the legacy of “Jewish” culture and food in Lithuania today. Explore the foods that travelled with members of the Lithuanian community to new lands in Israel, the United States, South Africa, and beyond. Participants will receive a few recipes to make at home! Moderated by Gabriella Gershenson.
In partnership with the Lithuanian Culture Institute, Consulate General of the Republic of Lithuania in New York, and The Gefilteria.
