Chef Jeffrey Yoskowitz, a renowned Brooklyn, NY author, educator and entrepreneur, came to Temple Beth Hillel in South Windsor with his fascinating presentation, “Back to the Old Country: The Jewish Food Renaissance.”

The community-wide program was presented by the Sisterhood of Temple Beth Hillel, whose members prepared many of the recipes featured in Chef Yoskowitz's cookbook, "The Gefilte Manifesto: New Recipes for Old World Jewish Foods."

Special thanks to the event's sponsors, Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford and The Jewish Hartford European Roots Project.
