Religious Groups Use Food to Talk About Faith

You can learn a lot about a culture by the food it creates.

You hear pizza, you think Italian. Tacos conjure thoughts of Mexico. Apple pie is only fitting for America.

And, this summer, New York’s Center for Jewish History wants you to learn the origins of bublitchki, challah and gefilte fish — all Jewish cuisines that are deeply rooted in the religious group’s culture.
