Introduction

Currently residing in the Barony of Settmour Swamp, Mistress Judith has been part of the SCA since 2003, and when attending an event, is most at home when working in the kitchen. She enjoys baking, sewing, and researching interesting corners of Jewish life in northern and central Europe.

Persona

As the only surviving child of the esteemed Rabbi Mendel ben Shlomo (may he be remembered for a blessing), Mistress Judith studied Talmud with him from an early age and ultimately inherited his baking business.

When traveling in England, she uses the name Katherine de Staverton to avoid persecution.
