Presenter : Mary MacCormack
Topic : You Eat What You Are : Gastronomical Ethnology
A talk on the many layered associations of food and how food fits into Jewish identities through personal and community changes over time.

"Chulent is the food of Heaven,
And the recipe was given
By the Lord himself to Moses
One fine day upon Mount Sinai
In the very spot where likewise
G-d revealed his moral doctrines
And the holy Ten Commandments
In the midst of flame & lightening
Chulent is God's bread of rapture,
It's the kosher-type ambrosia
That is catered straight from Heaven;
And compared with such a morsel"
Heinrich (Chaim) Heine
