Event Details

Historic Savannah Foundation will host a special discussion on “Jewish Foodways in the Lowcountry South” as part of the 2024 Historic Savannah Foundation Lecture Series, “People, Places and Stories That Define Savannah.” This cultural discussion will feature Kugels & Collards authors Rachel Barnett and Lyssa Harvey as well as Congregation Mickve Israel’s Rabbi Robert Haas on Thursday, April 18 at the Historic Savannah Foundation’s headquarters. Attendees are invited to a wine reception at 5:30 p.m. The discussion will start at 6 p.m.

Rachel Barnett and Lyssa Harvey’s book, Kugels & Collards, is a collection of recipes and essays from Jewish families who arrived in the South from 1791 to the present day. Published as a project of the Columbia Jewish Heritage Initiative and sponsored by the Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina and Historic Columbia, the book uses food as a lens to view the Jewish experience in the South and explores the merging of Southern and Jewish elements into the foodways that now define Lowcountry cuisine.

Historic Savannah Foundation’s 2024 Lecture Series is open to the public. Reservations are recommended, as space is limited. Attendance is free for Historic Savannah Foundation members and $15 for non-members. Members and non-members may RSVP by emailing Kendall Graham at kgraham@myhsf.org or calling 912-233-7787, ext. 109.

25apr7:00 pm8:30 pmSavannah Council on World Affairs Lecture Series"Argentina Politics and Economy, and the Direct Influence of World Powers in South America"

Event Details

Professor Patricio DellaGiovanna, Professor and Project Coordinator of the Center for International Studies (CEI) at the Pontifical Catholic University Of Argentina, Buenos Aires will present:

“Argentina Politics and Economy, and the Direct Influence of World Powers in South America”

Argentina, a key global actor, has become a center of attention for foreign investors after the unexpected electoral victory of President Javier Milei. Argentina faces great challenges: rampant inflation, currency depreciation, and a sharp increase in poverty, accompanied by a rise in organized crime related to drug trafficking. But it benefits from support from the U.S., Europe and international financial institutions; it is rich in critical natural resources, a major food producer to the world, and a gateway to Antarctica. China and Russia are competing for influence in Argentina; President Milei talks about a strategic alliance with the U.S. The course of Argentina’s economic reform will affect this competition for influence. Professor Patricio Dellagiovanna, who is visiting Savannah as a member of an Argentinian Rotary delegation, will bring you real time analysis of all this and its significance for U.S. relations with South America more broadly.
