Naama Shefi, founder of Jewish Food Society and co-author Devra Ferst introduce The Jewish Holiday Table, a collection of 135 vibrant recipes, each with accompanying stories collected by the Jewish Food Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Jewish culinary heritage from across the globe.
Jewish life is often centered around the table, where family and friends come together while relishing in traditions, rituals and memories behind the dishes.

The Jewish Holiday Table reflects three thousand years of love and of loss, culture and change, and each dish captures the soul of what is served in a Jewish home on a Jewish holiday.
Throughout its pages, readers will discover recipes for an Iraqi Purim party, a festive French Shabbat, and a Moroccan Mimouna gathering to mark the end of Passover. There are also stories of a long journey by
camel in Yemen, of survival in Ukraine, of a Bukharian grandmother on YouTube and of women baking holiday sweets together in what’s now Zimbabwe.
