Jewish Studies Lecture

[Professor Paul Socken]

Everyone is cordially invited to attend the second Jewish Studies 
Lecture of the fall term.

Dr. Jeremy Dauber of Columbia University will be speaking on "Comedy 
Tonight: Jewish Humour in Television and Film":

"Jewish Humour is as famous as it is hard to define. What makes comedy 
Jewish? How does Jewish history create -- and transform -- comedy? This 
lecture will explore Jewish comedians in television and film -- many of 
whom helped shape the media of the 20th century and expand the 
boundaries of American comedy. Explore American Jewish comedy from the 
Marx Brothers to Nichols and May to Sid Caesar and Ali G., with detours 
to Woody Allen, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David."

The lecture will take place on _Monday 17 November_ at _7:30 pm_ in 
_Siegfried Hall_, _St. Jerome's_.

The lecture is free and there will be a reception after the talk. 
Everyone is welcome.

Paul Socken
