The Soup Doctor
Year Completed:
Media: Performance
Site: Museum at Eldridge Street
The Soup Doctor (aka Dr. Sheldon Nova) remembers fondly the Kreplach of his childhood holidays. It was taboo for men to be in the kitchen so he did not have the opportunity to watch his mother closely as she cooked when he was a boy. Despite this, he is now a passionate cook and recently presented the oral history of Kreplach at the Museum at Eldridge Street.
We invited visitors to join us for an afternoon of cooking and conversation as we explored the concept of what it means to be American.
