Allan Sherman: The Life, The Hits, and the Lost Lyrics

Join author Mark Cohen for a lively evening celebrating the life and comedy of Chicago native Allan Sherman. Cohen is the author of Overweight Sensation: The Life and Comedy of Allan Sherman (Brandeis Series in American Jewish History, Culture, and Life). It is the first biography of the song parodist best remembered today for his summer of 1963 hit "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh." Sherman became a star in 1962 with the Jewish song parody album, My Son, The Folk Singer. Then came My Son, The Celebrity and My Son, The Nut. All three albums went gold, sparked a national concert tour and landed him television appearances that brought his comedy to millions. Recordings of lost parodies will be played. Q&A and book signing to follow.

Rabbi Steven Greenberg will present: "Erased from Historical Memory: Queer Heroes and Scoundrels in Jewish History and Texts.” A dessert reception will follow the program.

We will meet six queer characters of Jewish history, both famous and infamous, whose stories will help us make sense of these issues for our own moment. Rabbi Greenberg is a Senior Teaching Fellow at CLAL, Co-Director of Eshel, an Orthodox LGBT organization, and author of the book, Wrestling with God and Men: Homosexuality in the Jewish Tradition.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION: Fire In My Heart: The Story of Hannah Senesh, Opens May 14

The inspiring 23-year-old Hannah Senesh died by firing squad in 1944, but has endured as one of Israel’s most iconic heroes. This first-ever major exhibition tells how this Budapest-born poet, diarist, and author of the hymn Eli, Eli discovered her love for the Land of Israel, courageously volunteered for a mission to rescue downed Allied fliers and Jews from Nazi-occupied Hungary, and ultimately became a lasting symbol of courage and determination. Fire In My Heart: The Story of Hannah Senesh was created and is circulated by the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust. We are grateful to the Senesh Family for making the exhibition possible by providing material from their collection.
