American Jews share a common popular culture that includes art, music, literature, film, and food traditions. Our different series will explore and celebrate the many contributions of American Jews to the overall culture of America.

Jewish Food
Jewish foods and their traditions have made a lasting contribution to American cuisine. We celebrated Deli Night at Temple Shalom by screening a film and eating delicious deli food, courtesy of Cindi’s Deli. Our two series, Traditions in the Kitchen and Modern Jewish Cooking, explored the heart of American Jewish food. Our next series explores Israeli food traditions. Join us!

Jewish Music
American Jews have composed and performed many styles of music that have shaped the American experience. In fact, an astonishing percentage of musical performers and composers that we all know are Jewish and they have drawn on the musical traditions of Judaism.
We began the 2025 season with Alissa Roca singing Jewish and contemporary music, followed by a return engagement of our favorite Jewish and country-singing star Joe Buchanan for Veterans Day Shabbat. February 1st, we will welcome award-winning Brothers in Song, a male chamber ensemble comprised of volunteer choral music educators from the North Texas Metroplex. May 3rd, Eric Hunker, a Tulsa, Oklahoma based singer-songwriter, will perform at Temple Shalom.
