Did you know that the Irish corned beef dinner has a Jewish origin? Corned beef became a St. Patrick’s Day staple because in the early 20th century, when Irish and Jewish immigrants lived in close proximity in many U.S. cities, Irish immigrants noticed the corned beef their Jewish neighbors enjoyed was similar to bacon… but cheaper and more accessible. In fact, kosher butchers had almost as many Irish customers as Jewish customers back in the day! In this spirit, join us for a fun and delicious event, featuring corned beef, cabbage, and colcannon as well as a Jewish deli buffet, that brings the luck of the Irish to MJM and celebrates our shared immigrant roots. Red ale and Dr. Brown’s mocktails? But of course! Bonus: Guinness Stout cake and black-and-white cookies for a sweet ending!
