Knoshville festival shares Jewish food and culture
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — On Sunday, Jewish organizations in Knoxville and Oak Ridge gathered at the Arnstein Jewish Community Center for the eighth annual Knoshville festival.
The festival's name is a pun on the Yiddish word 'nosh' which means to snack or nibble — a fitting name for an event which brought traditional Jewish and Israeli foods to Knoxville. Food at the event included blintzes, bagels, soups from Algeria and different types of baked goods.
Judith Rosenberg, president of the Knoxville Jewish Alliance explained that the festival was an opportunity for different Jewish community organizations to come together.
Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon spoke at the festival, honoring Jewish-American heritage. She said Knoxville remains committed to combating antisemitism and celebrating diversity.
