"I’ll Have What She's Having": The Jewish Deli

More than a place to get a meal, the Jewish Deli is community forged in food.  “I’ll Have What She’s Having": The Jewish Deli, explores how Jewish immigrants, most from Central and Eastern Europe, imported and adapted traditions to create a uniquely American restaurant.Organized by the Skirball Center, this traveling exhibition reveals how Jewish delicatessens became a cornerstone of American food culture.

Lincoln Land Community College and the Jewish Federation of Springfield is partnering for a one-day trip to the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie, Illinois. Rabbi Barry Marks, a true food “maven” will be joining us on the bus to provide background on the Jewish Deli in America.
