Join the UW Center for Jewish Studies in Madison this summer for a four-day adult summer institute featuring Jewish studies scholars from around the country!

Food and drink are at the core of Jewish culture. Addressing broad questions about kashrut, family and community traditions, and Jewish interactions with non-Jews, this year’s Greenfield Summer Institute will explore how food and drink shape Jewish culture.

Highlights include a talk by the author of the award-winning book "Kosher USA" and an interview with the owners of New York’s legendary appetizing store, Russ & Daughters.
