David Bianculli and Melissa R. Klapper will take us through the evolution of Jewish television leading up to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. We’ll get an inside look from the perspectives of Bianculli, TV critic, columnist, and radio personality, and Klapper, Professor of History and Director of Women’s and Gender Studies at Rowan University, as to why this award winning television series has become so significant and popular. Note: Seating will be first come, first served. Please contact Dina Horowitz (dhorowitz@rodephshalom.org) with any questions.
