History is Served (Curbside!) • Exploring the Arkansas Delta: Jewish Communities

2020 History is Served explores cultures, communities, and cuisine of the Arkansas Delta. The last in our series takes a look at the Jewish communities that settled in the Arkansas Delta in the 19th century. Chefs Capi Peck and Shanna Merriweather will create a meal with traditional Jewish dishes put together for a modern audience, available as curbside pick up at Trio’s. 

Later in the evening, the museum will host a Zoom program featuring University of North Carolina professor Marcie Cohen Ferris, author of Matzoh Ball Gumbo and editor of Jewish Roots in Southern Soil, and former HAMF President and former Temple B’Nai Israel President, Leah Elenzweig.
