We invite you to the discussion “Jewish dishes – a bridge between Lithuanians and Jews” in the cafe “Cvi Parkas” – Lithuanian Jewish community


The discussion club #ŽydiškiPashnekesiai invites you to a conversation about what brings people together and helps discover common points of contact – the kitchen.

“The discussion will be really interesting. You will find out which traditional dishes are truly Lithuanian, and which – you didn’t even imagine – have Jewish roots: both Lithuanian and Sephardic.
