Every Saturday Goldie Simcha prepares
cholent (stew) to share with her neighbors on the Sabbath. When Goldie is sick, her neighbors create their own (somewhat stereotypical) multicultural feast. It's the embodiment of community, warmth, memory, and tradition--i.e., the Jewish observance of Shabbat. Oil and collage pictures evoke a cheerful urban setting through small details about the apartment dwellers. Recipe appended.
