Four Creative Jewish Giants: A Conversation with David Denby and David Margolick
Hosted By: The New York Jewish Week, Congregation Rodeph Sholom
Leonard Bernstein, Mel Brooks, Betty Friedan, Norman Mailer.
Yes, those are four Jewish icons — but what do they have in common?
As longtime New Yorker critic David Denby writes in his new book, “Eminent Jews,” these four figures acted with a freedom that Jews had never experienced anywhere in history. They wound up changing life for American Jews — and American culture, too.
On Wednesday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m. ET, Denby will join journalist and author David Margolick to discuss the book, in a conversation with Sandee Brawarsky, former culture editor of the New York Jewish Week.
The event will be online, on Zoom. All registrants will also receive a recording of the event.
