Uri Mayer-Chissick

Uri Mayer-Chissick is a historian of medicine and nutrition who studies how people in this region have eaten, healed, and lived for thousands of years.
His work connects Jewish sources, Maimonides, Arabic medicine, local agriculture, and real food practices. He brings together academic depth with practical knowledge of cooking, fermentation, and foraging.
His lectures are clear, engaging, and grounded. Not theoretical, not nostalgic, but deeply connected to how food actually works in real life
