Exhibiting Jewish Culinary Culture
András Koerner is the author of a number of critically acclaimed, award-winning CEU Press titles on the cultural history of Hungarian Jews and Jewish cuisine.This volume continues that tradition by discussing the phenomenon of exhibits on Jewish culinary culture in museums and galleries around the world. The first part of the book provides an overview of the cultural history of "foodism" and the proliferation of Jewish museums.In addition, it examines the role of cuisine in Jewish identity.It offers an analysis of the history and recent examples of exhibitions on Jewish culinary culture, a subject that has not received scholarly attention until now. The second part complements this by offering a detailed case study of the book’s subject.It showcases a 2022 exhibition in Budapest on the History of Hungarian Jewish Culinary Culture. András Koerner was the co-curator of the show, thus he is able to offer an insider’s account of its implementation – concept, scope, goals, audience, and design.He also openly discusses the compromises made and mistakes committed in the exhibition’s preparatory work. This subjective account, quite different from the dry objectivity of catalogues, offers an unusual, behind-the-scenes look at how a complex exhibition like this is prepared.At the same time, the book’s appendix includes images of the display boards and some of the exhibited objects – thus it can also stand for a valuable ex-post catalogue.

Early Jewish Cookbooks : Essays on Hungarian Jewish Gastronomical History
Winner of the Association of Jewish Libraries' 2022 Judaica Bibliography Award. The seven essays in this volume focus such previously unexplored subjects as the world’s first cookbook printed in Hebrew letters, published in 1854, and a wonderful 19th-century Jewish cookbook, which in addition to its Hungarian edition was also published in Dutch in Rotterdam.The author entertainingly reconstructs the history of bólesz, a legendary yeast pastry that was the specialty of a famous, but long defunct Jewish coffeehouse in Pest, and includes the modernized recipe of this distant relative of cinnamon rolls.Koerner also tells the history of the first Jewish bookstore in Hungary (founded as early as in 1765!) and examines the influence of Jewish cuisine on non-Jewish food. In this volume András Koerner explores key issues of Hungarian Jewish culinary culture in greater detail and more scholarly manner than what space restrictions permitted in his previous work Jewish Cuisine in Hungary: A Cultural History, also published by CEU Press, which received the prestigious National Jewish Book Award in 2020.The current essays confirm the extent to which Hungarian Jewry was part of the Jewish life and culture of the Central European region before their almost total language shift by the turn of the 20th century.

The Soviet Jewish Bookshelf – Jewish Culture and Identity Between the Lines
An original investigation into the reading strategies and uses of books by Jews in the Soviet era. In The Soviet Jewish Bookshelf, Marat Grinberg argues that in an environment where Judaism had been all but destroyed, and a public Jewish presence routinely delegitimized, reading uniquely provided many Soviet Jews with an entry to communal memory and identity.The bookshelf was both a depository of selective Jewish knowledge and often the only conspicuously Jewish presence in their homes.The typical Soviet Jewish bookshelf consisted of a few translated works from Hebrew and numerous translations from Yiddish and German as well as Russian books with both noticeable and subterranean Jewish content.Such volumes, officially published, and not intended solely for a Jewish audience, afforded an opportunity for Soviet Jews to indulge insubordinate feelings in a largely safe manner.Grinberg is interested in pinpointing and decoding the complex reading strategies and the specifically Jewish uses to which the books on the Soviet Jewish bookshelf were put.He reveals that not only Jews read them, but Jews read them in a specific way.

Is the grandson Jewish if the great-grandmother is Jewish?
According to traditional Jewish law, the status of being Jewish is passed down through the maternal line. If the great-grandmother is Jewish, then her daughter (the grandmother) would also be considered Jewish, and by extension, her grandson would also be considered Jewish. This is because Jewish identity is typically determined by the mother's Jewish status. However, it's important to note that different Jewish denominations may have varying interpretations of this rule.

Jewish Languages and Book Culture
From Cairo Genizah to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, the spread of books in Jewish vernacular languages and Hebrew characters offers us an extraordinary insight into the linguistic richness of Jewish life. For over two millennia, Jewish communities have used languages other than Hebrew for daily oral communication, including Aramaic, Judeo-Arabic, Judeo-French, Judeo-Italian, Yiddish and Ladino.They used the Hebrew alphabet to write these languages down and developed sophisticated systems to transmit texts in them.Many of these vernacular languages became also languages of book culture.Produced and sold cheaply, using the tools of the book cultures of host societies, these publications reached a wide audience. The Bodleian Libraries’ collections host an unparalleled collection of texts in Judeo-languages, giving us a picture of the works created and of the specific ways in which they were produced and communicated.Since some of the languages are now extinct or moribund, these manuscripts and books are also important testimonies to cultures that are no more.Generously illustrated and ranging in time from the Middle Ages to the Emancipation, this collection of essays showcases important hallmarks in the intellectual and social history of the Jews.
