Join us for our annual brunch and get together with old and new friends

Kosher dairy buffet
Speaker: Laura Silver



Join world's leading knish expert Laura Silver, author of Knish: In Search of the Jewish Soul Food  (Brandeis University Press), in a celebration of ancestry, gastronomy and humble roots. Laura will dish on the disappearance of her beloved Brighton Beach knish shop (Mrs. Stahl's) and on her seven-year, three-continent quest for traces of the humble hunk of stuffed dough and the uncanny discovery of her own roots... in, you guessed it, the Polish town of Knyszyn.
