The third oldest Jewish congregation in America is also the sponsor of a unique festival that celebrates food along with religious heritage. Dig into a steaming noodle kugel or potato latke, munch on a pastrami sandwich or a thick bagel with lox, dip some pita in hummus and save room for the apple strudel and rugelach. Music, magic and puppet shows surround the food, making this a complete entertainment package.
