JCC MetroWest's Maurice Levine Theater
760 Northfield Ave., West Orange, NJ
Walk this way to our first
NJJFF Legends event, a tribute to Mel Brooks: a giant of American
comedy, an EGOT, and Anne Bancroft’s husband. Jeremy Dauber, the
Atran Professor of Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture at
Columbia University and the author of books about Sholom Aleichem,
Jewish Humor, and the history of American Comics, brings his new biography,
Mel
Brooks: Disobedient Jew (from the Jewish Lives series),
to JCC MetroWest with a screening of Brooks’s timeless parody, Young
Frankenstein. Prof. Dauber will offer commentary on this
“surprisingly Jewish” film and Brooks’s legendary life in comedy.
Copies of Mel
Brooks: Disobedient Jew will be available for sale and
signing.
