SUMMARY:From Lodz to Tel Aviv: The Satirical World of Dzigan and Shumacher\, the Most Famous Yiddish Comedy Duo of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Second Annual Eva and Martin Libitzky Memorial Lecture.\nTaube Philanthropies\, the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life\, and Berkeley Center for Jewish Studies present: From Lodz to Tel Aviv: The Satirical World of Dzigan and Shumacher\, the Most Famous Yiddish Comedy Duo of the 20th Century\, featuring John Efron is the Koret Professor of Jewish History at UC Berkeley. \nFrom the late 1920s to the outbreak of WWII\, the comedy duo of Szymon Dzigan and Yisroel Shumacher enjoyed unparalleled popularity in Poland’s world of Yiddish entertainment. Household names and highly paid superstars\, their satirical monologues and political skits represented an unprecedented development in the nature of Jewish entertainment—modernist humor. Key to their material was language—the Yiddish of their native Lodz and their characters\, a Chaucerian parade of world-weary and world-wise Jews. After the Holocaust and their emigration to Israel\, they trained their satirical observations on the contemporary political situation in that country—a genre yet to exist in Hebrew entertainment. This talk seeks to account for the pathbreaking work of these beloved comic geniuses. \nPlease note this event will take place in person. \n\n  \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Science Bar: Women's Health 101
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Science Bar with Dr. Neta Gotlieb!\nInspired by Israel’s culture of casual intellectualism and night life learning\, the JCC East Bay is excited to bring back Science Bar! In this series\, you have the opportunity to learn from Israeli scientific experts while enjoying delicious drinks and nosh. \nDr. Gotlieb’s talk is entitled Women’s Health 101. From puberty to menopause\, women’s bodies are constantly changing\, but there’s no emphasis on the importance of body literacy. Join us in breaking the taboos to talk about menstrual cycles and hormones across different reproductive chapters. We’ll discuss questions like: How is the brain related to menstrual cycles? Why is the menstrual cycle considered a vital sign? How can reproductive health serve as a window to overall health? \n___________________________ \nDr. Neta Gotlieb earned a Master’s Degree in Biological Psychology from Tel Aviv University and a PhD in Reproductive Neuroendocrinology from University of California Berkeley\, where she focused on the neural regulation of menstrual cycles\, pregnancy\, and birth. She has also received the Women in Tech Global Technology Leadership Award.
