Don’t know what a shiksa is?** It means you need this class!!

Let me walk you through making some of the best Jewish Food on the planet. Whether you have a Jewish family you are cooking for, a Jewish partner you are trying to impress or are simply multi-culturally curious, join us for a night of food that will fill you with love and put a little meat on your bones– just like all the bubbes up in heaven want for you. That said, I keep my Jewish food rather light and it’s far simpler than you think.

**A shiksa is a yiddish word for a non-Jewish girl or woman. It traditionally has a negative connotation to it. However, much of the negative connotation comes from a certain jealous belief that non-Jewish women are more beautiful and could be a possible threat to Jewish women. For example, “Do you know Jonathan Goldstein? He’s not married but he’s dating a shiksa.” Shiksa, like goy, which is the general yiddish term for a non-Jew, points to non-Jewish men and women as outsiders. It is my hope, that by using these old Yiddish words in a playful new way, I will invite all to come inside for a little meal and a spiel.
