Capturing Israel: An Artistic Exploration of the Nation's History

Session 5 with Naama Shefi
Sunday, June 25, 12:00-2:00 p.m.
on Zoom at your own home

Led by Naama Shefi: Naama Shefi is a kibbutznik and New Yorker, whose work sits at the intersection of food, culture, community building, and art. In 2017, she founded the Jewish Food Society, which preserves and celebrates Jewish culinary heritage through a digital recipe archive and dynamic events. Previously, she curated programs promoting Israeli and Jewish culinary culture through the hit pop-up “The Kubbeh Project. Naama also immersed herself in start-up culture as the marketing director of EatWith, which hosts pop-ups in 160 cities.

About this lecture: In the lecture, Naama Shefi will discuss the ways in which the “Israeli Cuisine” has been formed through the years as a manifestation of the “Melting Pot” ideology of the early days of Israeli politics. We’ll explore the following questions: Is there an Israeli cuisine? Who created it and why is it so popular internationally in recent years? What were the effects of the economics, culture, fashion and multicultural exposure on the daily culinary in Israel, then and now?
