Kaddish for Knishes? — The Uncertain Future of the Jewish Deli

In the past year, many Jewish nosheries have either closed or are hanging on by a thread. Join Steve Goldberg, President, Stage Deli; David Sax, author of “Save the Deli!”; and Forward National Editor Rob Eshman for a conversation on why so many delis are facing extinction, what we lose when they’re gone, and whether they can ever be replaced. There will be special guests, special food and plenty of time for kibitzing!
