There’s no such thing as ‘Hebrew’ food. ‘Jewish’ food is the food people associate with Jews…but all the lox, bagels, deli and so on is really ‘Ashkenazi Jewish’ food – the food eaten by Jews who immigrated to the US from Eastern Europe. Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews – who lived for some time in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries – have different cuisines. And none of this is necessarily ‘kosher’ food – food that is prepared according to Judaism’s dietary laws (no pork or shellfish, no mixing of meat and dairy, etc.).
