June: Jews and Comics: Who Knew that Superman was Jewish?
Meeting Day & Time: TBA
Over four weeks, we will explore the relationship between Jews and comics. We’ll talk about the Jewish creators of popular superheroes as the Jewishness of the comic book characters themselves. And more! Of course, we’ll include visuals in the classes. Prepare to hold on to your hats (or your kippot). Up, up, and away!
