SUMMARY:Cooking Up History: Nora Rubel on The Settlement Cook Book
DESCRIPTION:One night only: A conversation with Jewish foodways expert\, Nora Rubel!\nTuesday\, October 6th | 6pm | $45\nDon’t miss this very special event at the Roadhouse with author and historian Nora Rubel\, presented in collaboration with the EMU Center for Jewish Studies! Rubel is coming to Ann Arbor all the way from Rochester to be interviewed by Zingerman’s co-founder Ari Weinzweig about her new book\, Recipes for the Melting Pot: The Lives of The Settlement Cook Book. \nFor more than a century\, The Settlement Cook Book has been a fixture in American kitchens. First published in Milwaukee in 1901 by Jewish women seeking to help immigrant families navigate American life\, the cookbook became much more than a collection of recipes. It offered a window into immigration\, assimilation\, Jewish identity\, women’s lives\, and the changing meaning of American food. \nIn Recipes for the Melting Pot\, Rubel explores the fascinating history and enduring legacy of this iconic cookbook\, revealing the people and stories behind its pages—and what its evolution tells us about America itself. \nCome hear Rubel and Weinzweig explore the intersection of food\, culture\, immigration\, and identity\, and discover how a humble community cookbook became a remarkable record of American history. We will also enjoy delicious appetizers\, including one exclusively crafted from Rubel’s book! \nPresented in collaboration with: \n \n  \nAbout the Author\nNora L.

SUMMARY:Ari's Pamphlet Event: Why Democracy Matters
DESCRIPTION:Democracy isn’t just something we vote for—it’s something we practice every day.\nTuesday\, October 27th\, 6pm-8pm | $45\nWhat does democracy have to do with the way we work\, the way we lead\, the way we treat one another\, and the communities we build? \nQuite a lot\, according to Zingerman’s co-founding partner Ari Weinzweig. \nJoin us as Omari Rush\, executive director of CultureSource in Detroit\, interviews Ari about his newest pamphlet\, Why Democracy Matters: A Deep Understanding of What Democracy Means in Our Everyday Lives\, published by Zingerman’s Press. Drawing on decades of experience building democratic practices at Zingerman’s\, Ari makes the case that democracy is not something that happens only at the ballot box or in the halls of government. It begins much closer to home—with how we listen\, participate\, share responsibility\, build trust\, and honor the dignity of others. \nWritten during what Ari describes as a defining moment for democracy\, Why Democracy Matters is both a reflection and a call to action. Rather than looking from the top down\, Ari asks us to look at democracy from the ground up: in our workplaces\, our organizations\, our communities\, and our everyday relationships. \nThe pamphlet brings together ten essays exploring Ari’s developing understanding of democratic practice\, the ways Zingerman’s has put those principles to work\, and his realization that practicing dignity across an organization is\, in itself\, an expression of democracy. \nAs Ari writes\, “What I’m imagining here is a democracy that starts not with political candidates but with people like you and me.” \nThe included delicious Roadhouse snacks feature apricot\, the symbol of democracy! Come by to enjoy them\, and hear Ari in conversation about the ideas behind Why Democracy Matters\, the lessons Zingerman’s has learned over decades of democratic practice\, and the practical ways each of us can help bring those principles to life—because democracy isn’t just a system we inherit. It is something we make—and remake—together\, every day. \n  \nMENU\nButtermilk Biscuits (V)\nWith American Spoon apricot jam and Vermont Creamery cultured butter.\n\nChicken & Apricot Pyrizhki\nFried Ukrainian hand pies.\n\nAssorted Zingerman’s Candy Zzang! Bars (V)\nFeaturing new Ecuadorian Conexión Chocolate!
