What’s So Jewish About Barbie?
Hosted By: My Jewish Learning, Kveller
Join us to speak to a panel of experts on things Barbie and Jewish, including: Susan Shapiro, author of Barbie: 60 Years of Inspiration, and Jodi Eichler-Levine, author of Painted Pomegranates and Needlepoint Rabbis: How Jews Craft Resilience and Create Community, and Tiffany Shlain, director of The Tribe, an exploration of American Jewish identity through the history of the Barbie doll.
What is Jewish (or not so Jewish) about Barbie? What does renewed interest around Barbie due to the new film mean for Jews, women, and Jewish women? And what Jewish imagery, themes, and touchstones are woven throughout the film? Bring questions of your own for this timely conversation.
