8:00 PM | Michael Wex with Liz Alpern & Jeffrey Yoskowitz moderated by Ziggy Gruber
Rhapsody in Schmaltz: Yiddish Food and Why We Cant Stop Eating It

In Rhapsody in Schmaltz, Michael Wex traces the history and impact of the cuisine that Yiddish-speaking Jews from Central and Eastern Europe brought to North America. Writing in the Forward, Deena Yellin describes Wex as a writer who brings the perspective of a Talmudist, linguist, philosopher and stand-up comic to his subject.
Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz are on a mission to revitalize Ashkenazi cuisine with recipes that draw inspiration from Jewish bakeries, neighborhood delis, old-fashioned pickle shops, and their own childhood kitchens.

This lively evening of conversation will be moderated by Houstons own Ziggy Gruber.
Doors open at 7:30 PM with pre-show music provided by Houston Symphonys Alexander Sasha Potiomkin (Clarinet) and Yadim Angerov (Accordian). Noshes for everyone!
