If it’s not soup season, I don’t know what is! Just in time, Manischewitz, a beloved brand with over 135 years of experience in making Jewish traditional foods, has launched its new Homemade Jarred Soup line. To celebrate, a free art and photography exhibit aptly named “SOUP,” is treating visitors to fun photography, bold art, and some tasty kosher snacks.
The exhibit at Artifact, 155 Suffolk Street in the Lower East Side, features approachable art, including playful photography from Israeli artist, Ohad Romano. It’s hard not to smile while enjoying these (relatable?) slices of life.
There are also vivid illustrations from Daniel Weinstein that explore identity themes with a trippy twist.
And Rosemarie Gleiser brings her thoughtful cultural imagery to the show. I particularly loved the humor of her “Bobe’s Gefilte” piece.
No Manischewitz gathering would be complete without food, and the Manischewitz Deli on Wheels is scheduled to be parked outside the exhibit and serve soup, knishes, hot dogs, and other items.
Soup’s On!
The new Homemade Soups from Manischewitz are sold in 24-ounce glass jars and are ready-to-serve. They can be heated up in the microwave or on the stovetop. The soups come in seven flavors including classics like Chicken Noodle, Chicken Matzo Ball, and Mushroom Barley. (My favorite was easily the Tomato & Rice. It was especially zesty and flavorful!)
“SOUP” is open to the public from February 6–10, located at 155 Suffolk St. and is free and open to all.
Public hours: February 6th to 10th.
Friday: 10 – 2 PM
Saturday: 7 – 10 PM
Sunday: 10 – 6 PM
Monday: 10 – 6 PM
Tuesday: 10 – 6 PM
