Join us as we explore the unique history of Yiddish cartooning. Thousands of cartoons appeared in the Yiddish press where Yiddish cartoonists held a mirror up to Jewish society in an attempt to expose hypocrisy and wrongdoing. Most interestingly, they mined traditional Jewish texts and customs to create uniquely Jewish cartoons. Please RSVP to (213) 389-8880 or by email. Suggested contribution of $5, reception to follow. Co-sponsored by The Workmen's Circle. 

      Eddy Portnoy holds a PhD in Modern Jewish Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary and a Masters degree in Yiddish from Columbia University.  A regular contributor to the Forward, he has published articles in Polin, The Drama Review and the International Journal of Comic Art.
