'CJC In The Mix Presents: Taboo Talks - Jews & Chinese Food'
37:00 Feb 23
'April 25, 2012 at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, JACOBS FAMILY CAMPUS  We\'ve all heard the stereotype, and maybe even lived it: While most other people are frantically trying to wrap the last present on Christmas Eve, Jewish people are gathering with friends and loved ones at a Chinese restaurant. And Chinese takeout is part of the Jewish daily experience too. When did American Jews become such aficionados of Chinese cuisine? More importantly, why do they love to go to Chinese restaurants? Dr. Joellyn Zollman will address the demographic, sociological and cultural factors that explain how Chinese food became the chosen food of the chosen people.   www.facebook.com/CJCInTheMix'
