15th Annual Gus and Libby Solomon Memorial Lecture
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Join up for the 15th Annual Solomon Memorial Lecture with guest speaker Eddy Portnoy, author of Bad Rabbi: And Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press.
An underground history of downwardly mobile Jews, Bad Rabbi and Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press mines century-old Yiddish newspapers to expose the seamy underbelly of pre-WWII New York and Warsaw, the two major centers of Yiddish culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
