From Canaan to the Catskills: The Jewish Mother Through the Ages with Rabbi Jonathan Lubliner Learning with Rabbi Jonathan Lubliner

When

June 8, 2020

Event Type

Whether idealized for selfless sacrifice in Yiddish music and literature or lampooned for neuroses by Borscht Belt comedians, the Jewish mother has taken on a near-mythic character. Join Rabbi Lubliner on four Monday evenings in June for a journey of 3,500 years, as we explore the story of the Jewish mother from the Bible to Philip Roth and the Talmud to the Jazz Singer.
