As Jews, we have perfected the art of smoking, salting and curing meat and fish. To enhance your personal knowledge, you can attend Smoke & Salt: Cure-ated Tastes and Candid Conversation, tonight at 7 pm at Shelsky’s of Brooklyn, part of the Workmen’s Circle Taste of Jewish Culture series.
While noshing on a special menu of smoked foods (plus drinks and dessert) from local Brooklyn spots including Peck’s Homemade and Fletcher’s Brooklyn BBQ, you’ll take a deep-dive into the subject as Tablet editor-in-chief Alana Newhouse hosts a panel of Jewish food connoisseurs including Mimi Sheraton, Ed Levine (Serious Eats), Max Falkowitz (Saveur) and Gabriella Gershenson (Every Day With Rachel Ray).
Tickets are $45 and include all food and alcohol.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
