Jared Kaufman (he/him) is a letterpress printmaker, food/features reporter, and cheese educator in the Twin Cities. Through Zamler Press, he focuses on social action via food, pop culture, and Jewish spirituality. Many of his prints, in English and Hebrew, explore connections between sacred liturgical writings and Jewish ethics firmly rooted in the diaspora. He's the 2025–26 letterpress studio fellow at MCBA, and he's particularly interested in how the ways we eat reflect who we are (and who we think we are). Oh, and he also wants to letterpress-print your menus!
