Co-presented by The Contemporary Jewish Museum and KlezCalifornia
Eddy Portnoy discusses his just-released book Bad Rabbi: And Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press. This irreverent, unvarnished, and frequently hilarious compendium chronicles a seamy underbelly of pre-WWII drunks, thieves, murderers, wrestlers, poets, and beauty queens whose misadventures were immortalized in print. Book sales and signing to follow. In conjunction with The Contemporary Jewish Museum’s exhibition The 613 by Archie Rand. FREE with Museum admission
