DrayMakhers December: Jewish Food
Join KlezCalifornia for an hour of community culture building with Jewish laughter and humor, conversations about Jewish food, and thinking peoples’ games with Jewish themes on a three-month cycle.
In December, we meet again on Zoom on Wednesday, December 8, to talk about Jewish food. Prepare an answer to each of these questions:
• Which is the more perfect Jewish food — the latke or the homentash? Come prepared to discuss and defend your choice!
• What unique or unusual dish do you make or have eaten for Khanike?
• Is there a Jewish food you think has been hijacked from Jewish cuisine and transformed into something almost unrecognizable from the original?
•. Bring another Jewish food topic you’d like to explore or discuss.
Definition: In a cultural community like ours, we find lots of gantze makhers, (“big shots”; gantse = complete/entire; makhers = big shots, fixers). If we sort ourselves into three specific groups that offer a mixture of laughter, appreciation of cuisine, and playtime, we come up with DrayMakhers (dray = three). What a mekhaye (pleasure/delight) to be part of the DrayMakhers!
If you have any questions: contact coordinator Evie Groch.
