A Tapestry of Tastes: Jewish Women of Syrian Descent and Their Cooking in Mexico and Israel

Paulette Kershenovich Schuster

(The Hebrew University)

Jewish cooking, variously practiced, is a daily expression of religious beliefs, ethnic identification, cultural or family history, or a combination of these components.1 Transcending social upheavals and countries, it nonetheless encompasses a plethora of ingredients and tastes that reflect the cultural forms and practices, ethnic markers, and religious elements of many Jewish communities worldwide. This combination of global and local is mirrored in the complex constructions of identify among Jews who embrace local cuisine while preserving traditional foods. In this essay, I elaborate on this point by means of a case study involving two groups of Jewish women of Syrian descent—one in Mexico, the other in Israel.2
