 Food writer Matthew Goodman, author of Jewish Food: The World at Table
and writer-producer of a film on the history of the
International Bagel Bakers’ Union in America, presents the
fascinating and little-known history of the Union. For decades the
Union’s bakers produced every bagel made in New York City until, in the
mid-1960s, the combination of frozen bagels and the bagel-making
machine destroyed the Union.
The story of the Bagel Union tells a
larger story of the labor movement, of the development of technology
and of Jewish American culture.
Sunday, May 18 at 11am. $5 fee includes bagels (naturally) and coffee.
