For Passover and beyond, Trader Joe’s has ”a really strong kosher game,” SF State Jewish Studies Professor @RachelBethGross says.

I spoke to @DrJackieMrsHajd about Trader Joe’s new matzah and about how brands have shaped the U.S. Jewish experience of Passover.

The countdown to Passover begins!
Astute Trader Joe's customers may have noticed a new matzah box this year.
So what gives?
And what does it mean that a major American grocery store chain has put their name this very Jewish food?

In the 1910s, Mary Antin was the most famous U.S. Jewish woman. Then she quit celebrity life and sought out religious adventures.
So excited to present my new research on this once-famous Bostonian on March 28, 12pm ET at @brandeis_hbi @BrandeisU. In-person and on Zoom! #AmRel
