Description: The "Kochbuch für die jüdische Küche," or "cookbook for the Jewish kitchen" was published by the "Jüdischer Frauenbund," and co-authored by the "Israelitischer Frauenverein Düsseldorf" (Jewish women's organization of Düsseldorf), the "Jüdische Haushaltungsschule Frankfurt am Main" (Jewish housekeeping school of Frankfurt am Main), and the "Jüdische Kochschule Berlin" (Jewish cooking school of Berlin). The "Jüdischer Frauenbund" (JFB) was the first German women's organization founded for specifically for Jewish women as part of the feminist movement in the early 1900s. In addition to strengthening Jewish women to their faith, the JFB also wanted to enhance the value of housekeeping. It sought to develop young women's skills as future housewives; it also offered vocational training for young women so that, if necessary they could support themselves independently. Additionally, membership to the JFB was also an oppurtunity to convey the women's middle class status. (Source: "Jüdischer Frauenbund" de.wikipedia.org. Accessed 8/24/2013).
