Faith In Brooklyn for Sept. 24
Jewish Cuisine, Humor and History at the Brooklyn Book Festival
Last Sunday’s Brooklyn Book Festival offered a definite flavor on faith and spirituality. The Brooklyn Jewish Historical Initiative’s booth was bustling with people curious about Jewish humor, architecture, history and, of course, food.
Professor Joseph Dorinson was promoting his upcoming book “Kvetching and Shpritzing: Jewish Humor in American Popular Culture.”
Sarina Roffé, cook, author and teacher, promoted her new book “Backyard Kitchen: Mediterranean Salads.” Roffé is also author of recipes in the “New York Times Jewish Cookbook” and Joan Nathan’s “Jewish Cooking in America.” Ellen Levitt was discussing her series on the “The Lost Synagogues” of New York City.
