On Monday, September 12, the Yaschik/Arnold Jewish Studies Program and Charleston Jewish Federation's Young Adult Division (YAD) joined forces to create Kibitz in the Kitchen: a Conversation with Charleston's Food & Beverage Professionals. Moderated by Hanna Raskin, Food Writer and Critic for The Post and Courier, the panel featured reflections from local F&B professionals on how their Jewish identities and culture have played a role in their occupational calling, the food they serve, and the restaurants or businesses they run. Thank you to our panelists for sharing their personal journeys with us:
-
Tomer Oliel of Butcher & Bee, The Daily and Mellow Mushroom
-
Joseph Jacobson of the Cafe at the Gibbes and The Med Eatery and Bar
-
Marcie Rosenberg of Dining In, Inc.
-
Noah Singerman of Wise-Buck Smoked Meats, Feathertop and Scarecrow
Each panelist brought a unique perspective to the conversation, showcasing the diversity of our vibrant Jewish community and the myriad of ways in which Jewish identity can be expressed. Each panelist shared moments of nostalgia that combined food with Jewish holidays or rituals. When asked about the Jewish values they bring to their profession, hospitality and community were among those unanimously expressed.
