4/26 Scholarly Event: "The Nagging Jewish Mother" Lecture
7:30 to 9:30pm

A colossal figure, intensely involved in the lives of her children, the Jewish mother is one of the best-known figures in popular culture. This talk investigates the reasons behind the caricature's enduring (un)popularity, and explains its continuing---more positive--reinventions. Joyce Antler, Samuel Lane Professor of American Jewish History and Culture, Brandeis University, author of You Never Call! You Never Write! A History of the Jewish Mother. Lecture Series made possible by ROBERT AND JANET SABES, SABES FAMILY FOUNDATION This event is also co-sponsored by the National Council of Jewish Women: Greater Minneapolis Section; Brandeis Women; Women's Philanthropy of the Minneapolis Jewish Federation; Hadassah of the Upper Midwest
