The Secret Behind Jews and Food

There are countless other jokes about Jews and food and it’s no wonder. It’s no secret that Jews have a relationship with food. In fact, there is no way that you can practice Judaism religiously or culturally without food. Within the Jewish legal framework there is the idea that Jewish rituals should be celebrated with a special meal. Life cycle events such as a bris and bar or bat mitzvah are followed by an celebratory spread and a wedding is followed by seven days of elaborate meals prepared by family and friends. Jewish holidays and festivals are also celebrated with large meals. The Sabbath is celebrated with a lavish dinner that includes fish, meat, and noodle pudding and the traditional chicken soup with matzo balls. Many holidays have specific foods that are associated with them such as Passover or potato pancakes on Channukah. <a href="https://medium.com/one-table-one-world/the-secret-behind-jews-and-food-66a611dd8151">Website</a>
