When, where? Generally, Jewish table manners parallel those of non Jews in the same countries. In post Midieval Europe, Jews eat with knives and forks while sitting at tables. In most Arab lands, Jews ate and a few still eat sitting on the ornate rugs on the floor while using their fingers. In Roman and Persian times, Jews ate off of low tables while reclining on couches. The later part of Talmud Tractate Brachot testifies to this while discussing the appropriate mealtime prayers.
