Jewish Book & Arts Fair: Opening Night

Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yosowitz

This lively evening of conversation centered around Jewish foods in American culture will be moderated by Houston’s own Ziggy Gruber. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with pre-show music provided by Houston Symphony’s Alexander “Sasha” Potiomkin (clarinet) and Yadim Angerov (accordian). This literary and culinary feast brings authors Michael Wex (Rhapsody in Schmaltz: Yiddish Food and Why We Can’t Stop Eating It) and Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz (The Gefilte Manifesto) together on stage for a live dialogue about Yiddish Food - then and now.
