SUMMARY:Food For Thought: What Is Israeli Cuisine?
DESCRIPTION:Food is essential to human existence\, and people from all cultures engage in acquiring\, preparing\, and consuming it daily. Israeli food encompasses more than just popular items like falafel\, hummus\, schnitzel\, and Bamba. By taking an anthropological perspective\, Dr. Azri Amram will explore how food and eating habits reflect Israeli society and culture. Additionally\, he will examine how food influences relationships among individuals and various groups within and outside of Israeli society\, leading to a deeper understanding of Israeli cuisine. \nDr. Azri Amram is a lecturer and researcher who specializes in the social\, cultural\, and political aspects of food and eating. He is an Israel Institute Teaching Fellow and serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of California\, Santa Cruz (UCSC). His primary research examines the intercultural relations between Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel within food spaces. Dr. Amram holds a Ph.D. from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Ben Gurion University of the Negev\, as well as a Master’s degree in Public Policy from Tel Aviv University. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Food For Thought:  The Real Heroines of Sephardic Culture
DESCRIPTION:Sephardic women have played a heroic role in keeping their culture alive. Thanks to their unshakable commitment and determination\, Sephardic women were at the center of the recovery process after expulsions and exiles\, and managed to not only keep the traditions and customs alive but thriving. \nIn this enlightening new program\, Professor Rivka Amado\, a Sephardic historian\, will explore the role of two groups of Sephardic women: those who fled Spain and Portugal after the expulsion and the conversa women who remained in the Iberian Peninsula and kept the Jewish faith in secret. Through this exploration of the role of these women in Sephardic culture\, we will gain new insights into this important segment of the Jewish community and Judaism as a whole. \nDr. Rivka Amado is a musician and lecturer specializing in Judeo-Spanish music\, culture and history with a focus on Sephardic women’s songs and spiritual experience. \nRegister Here.
