Jeffrey returns to his alma mater for a seminar on Jewish food and his career in food over the weekend celebrating 130 years of Jewish life at the university.

Food has always been central to Jewish life, from time-honored traditions handed down across the generations to fusion cuisines that take their inspiration from Jewish diasporic communities across the globe. Jeffrey Yoskowitz, co-author of “The Gefilte Manifesto: New Recipes for Old World Jewish Foods” and owner of The Gefilteria, will discuss new Jewish cuisine, his career as a food entrepreneur, and his focus on food as a student at Brown. He will be in conversation with Rachel Herz, neuroscientist and author of “Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food,” which explores how our senses, brain, and psychology govern our perception of food and the experiences and consequences of eating.

2 sessions (Friday, 3pm, Saturday, 11am). Open to Brown alumni. Weekend event info here.
