Join us, on Thursday, October 19th at the Beth Tzedek for an insightful discussion on “Eating Jewish in Toronto.”

Moderated by David Sax, the panel will feature:

Ruthie Ladovsky of United Bakers
Judy Perly of the legendary Free Times Cafe
Chef Anthony Rose of Fat Pasha and Schmaltz Appetizing
Bonnie Stern, author, columnist, and culinary guru.
And the hilariously wry comedian and author, Michael Wex.

If you’re a lover of Haymishe food, this is the talk for you!

This event is part of the From Latkes to Laffas Exhibit: Jewish Toronto’s Favourite Eateries, 1900-2017 exhibit currently on display at the Beth Tzedek.

The physical exhibit was produced by the Ontario Jewish Archives in the fall of 2005. It relies on artefacts, photographs and archival documents to examine the development of business and labour in Toronto’s Jewish community.

Ruth, Herman & Philip

This OJA would like to thank United Bakers for sponsoring this exhibit. The restaurant was established in 1912 by Aaron Ladovsky, and although it has changed locations and is now managed by his grandchildren, Ruth and Philip, it still remains a fixture within the community, a place to enjoy traditional delicacies and schmooze with friends and family.

Their father, Herman, had been a devoted volunteer at the Ontario Jewish Archives. The family remains committed to preserving and celebrating the rich and important history of the Jewish community.

Thanks to Dan Ehrenworth for producing the professional photographs used for the virtual exhibit.
