"I'll Have What She's Having" Exhibit TODAY!!! Sunday, July 10 at 11:00 AM
We're excited to join together with the Open Yad Project for a visit to the Skirball Cultural Center's exhibit, "I'll Have What She's Having": The Jewish Deli. More than a place to get a meal, the Jewish deli is a community forged in food. The exhibition explores how Jewish immigrants, mostly from Central and Eastern Europe, imported and adapted traditions to create a uniquely American restaurant.For more details and to RSVP
