Sh'ma: The Jewish Table

by Rachel Nussbaum, Shulem Deen, Mimi Feigelson

When we consider a Jewish home, it is often the table that captures our imagination. Around that table, families eat, talk, argue, create habits, and construct what becomes family lore and memory. We devote this issue of Sh’ma to examining what happens at a Jewish table — what we eat, who is invited to sit with us, and what we learn. The issue also explores the rebbe’s “tisch,” the world of Hasidism, how a kabbalist understands the pathway of food and spirit, and what the line from the Haggadah — “Let all who are hungry come and eat” — might mean today.
