This episode was recorded at Washington Hebrew Congregation in Washington, D.C., in partnership with the Association of Reform Jewish Educators. Thanks to our friends at ARJE for making this show happen.
Our Jewish guest is food historian Michael Twitty, author of the James Beard Award-winning book The Cooking Gene. He returns to the show to tell us about his years as a Hebrew school teacher, when he was often the first black person his students interacted with, and his next book project, Kosher Soul, which focuses on his Jewish identity. He also explains what ptcha is, and why it’s one of Tablet’s 100 Most Jewish Foods.
