A Roman Jewish Hanukkah Party + Schmaltzy Live

  • 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm | Wednesday December 06, 2023
  • Demo Kitchen | Ace Hotel Brooklyn

Join author Leah Koenig for a Hanukkah soiree in celebration of her latest cookbook, Portico: Cooking and Feasting in Rome’s Jewish Kitchen. 

Leah will join Jewish Food Society for a live, dynamic taping of their award-winning storytelling podcast, Schmaltzy, and a conversation with JFS Program Director and Schmaltzy host, Amanda Dell, about Rome’s 2,000-year old Jewish community and its uniquely delicious cuisine. 

After the story and conversation, attendees will have a chance to sample a variety of Hanukkah-inspired dishes from Portico and from Jewish Food Society’s recipe archives, toast with wine (or a cocktail!) and have their copies of Portico signed. 

This event is being produced in collaboration with Ace Hotel Brooklyn and The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life.

About Leah Koenig:

Leah Koenig is the author of seven cookbooks, including The Jewish Cookbook and Modern Jewish Cooking. Her new book, Portico: Cooking and Feasting in Rome’s Jewish Kitchen celebrates Rome’s 2,000 year old Jewish community and it’s uniquely delicious cuisine. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Food & Wine, The Wall Street Journal, Real Simple, Epicurious, Bon Appetit, and more. She also writes a weekly newsletter on Substack, The Jewish Table. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her family.

About Jewish Food Society:

Jewish Food Society is a non profit organization that works to preserve, celebrate, and revitalize Jewish culinary heritage from all around the world. Jewish Food Society brings their recipe archive to life through one of a kind programs, like their flagship storytelling and tasting event Schmaltzy, and its award-winning sister podcast, which shares stories told by chefs, cookbook authors, writers, entrepreneurs, and passionate home cooks.

About The Neighborhood:

The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life is working to build a Jewish community and cultural center that will be an inclusive and welcoming community hub. We do not yet have a physical location, but we hope to be a gathering place for local Jewish groups and organizations that don’t have their own space for new programming, and for cross-community collaboration. We hope to create a welcoming space that reflects the spirit of Brooklyn–future-thinking and deeply historical, iconoclastic, and sacred.

Ace Artist in Residence & Byline present -- Tomorrow's Garden by Caroline Zimbalist at Gallery

With this seminal exhibition, Tomorrow’s Garden, we glimpse through a keyhole. Behind the door is an imagined, futuristic world where the overuse of plastic melted into nature and created new species of bioplastic lifeforms. An enchanted oyster lies in the ocean with aquatic creatures and flora. A hanging abstract, bioplastic jellyfish illuminates an underwater world, a forest where hybrid amphibians and fairies tend to the changed planet. Caroline questions what the future can look like in a world where nature…
