L’Dor V’Dor: Creating Comfort and Sharing Traditions in a Disembodied Time 	2022	22	.pdf	application/pdf	4996	239	61	Keywords: foodways, Jewish food, comfort food, pandemic, COVID-19, embodiment, family food It is a cultural and religious imperative for Jews to pass our knowledge and traditions on to our children and grandchildren, the stories that are told and retold, l’dor v’dor (trans. from the Hebrew, “from generation to generation”).1 A conversation with folklorist Lucy Long a few years ago prompted me to think about “frameworks for exploring food narratives that go beyond just the consumption of food, to acknowledge the ways in which food connects into other domains of life” (Long 2020). Folklorist Chrissy Widmeyer (2021) writes about a related concept,5 which she calls “performative intimacy, … the means through which relationships are performed into being” in reference to the group work involved in making family foods and the community work in making and gifting potato pies for a group of African American women—in both cases, sharing and thus performing, reaffirming, and recreating community.	cache/digest-35800.pdf	txt/digest-35800.txt
