Noah’s Wine vs. Pharaoh’s Beer

  • Israel Congregation of Manchester 6025 Main Street Manchester, Vermont, 05255 United States (map)

Come meet Biblical and Talmudic botanist Dr. Jon Greenberg to learn about the forgotten meanings of foods and drinks while enjoying beer, wine, fruit, pastries, and other familiar foods with deep Biblical significance. You'll learn:

  • Why Joseph's pharaoh drank wine, but Moses's did not.

  • The Jewish exile who paved the way for American cuisine by showing Thomas Jefferson that tomatoes are not poisonous

  • Why some archaeologists think that civilization began as a way to get a beer.

And so much more!
