We’ll all be there. What about you?

Sandwiched between two deliciously food-focused holidays, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah, the Forward is throwing a food-centric celebration of its own.

On Thursday, December 3, at a cool downtown venue called , we’re hosting an evening of food, drink, comedy and conversation that’s aptly being called Eat, Drink + Think.

With comedian Judy Gold as MC and guests including Mile End Deli’s Noah Bernamoff and Gefilteria’s Liz Alpern offering up eats and personal insights, we’ll be talking about what feeds Jewish culture — the role food plays in connecting us with our histories, our traditions and each other, and how vital it is today.

We’re at a moment when Jewish food is undergoing a kind of renaissance. People like Bernamoff and Alpern — hip, young New Yorkers — are taking classic foods and making them modern, which is something I see happening all over the country. We’ll explore what’s behind these developments, while engaging participants to join in with funny food-related stories of their own.

And of course it wouldn’t be a Jewish celebration without lots of great food and drink. (Bernamoff’s bringing some of his famous smoked meats, Alpern is bringing one of her amazing updates on gefilte fish and Dahlia Abraham-Klein will be making challah on site.)

So after the turkey’s been digested but before the latke-fest begins, here’s an opportunity to squeeze in one more party — where other people do all the cooking, and stimulating conversation is guaranteed.

Tickets are $35 in advance; $40 at the door.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
