What can a bowl of chicken soup, a family challah recipe, or a plate of brisket tell us about who we are?

This week on Common Faith, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove and Jon Frankel explore the rich world of Jewish food with two extraordinary guests. First, Jewish Food Society founder Naama Shefi discusses The Great Nosh, a festival celebrating Jewish culture through food, storytelling, and community. Then acclaimed cookbook author and food journalist Joan Nathan reflects on a lifetime spent documenting the recipes, memories, and traditions that connect generations of Jews around the world.

Together, they explore how food preserves identity, carries family history, and brings people together in ways few other traditions can. Whether it's a grandmother's handwritten recipe, a Shabbat dinner table, or a bustling food festival, this conversation reminds us that some of life's deepest connections begin with sharing a meal.
