SUMMARY:Afternoon Trip to Capital Jewish Museum to see "I'll Have What She's Having: The Jewish Deli"
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a docent-led tour of the Capital Jewish Museum’s traveling exhibit “I’ll Have What She’s Having: The Jewish Deli.” This exhibit explores how American Jews imported traditions\, adapted culture\, and built community through the experience of food. In addition to showing how the Jewish deli forged an entirely new\, quintessentially American cuisine by combining Central and Eastern European dishes with ingredients abundantly available in the United States\, the exhibition traces the larger arc of the Jewish experience in the US during the twentieth century. For the Washington\, DC exhibition\, the Capital Jewish Museum incorporates new research and works from its collection to highlight the local Jewish community’s contributions to deli culture. Additions to the galleries include photographs\, menus\, and ephemera from local Jewish-owned delicatessens. \n\n\n\nThere will be time to eat lunch at the museum prior to our tour and visit the gift shop.
