Tuesday, March 25, 2025

12:00-1:00 p.m. EDT

 

Join Emmy-winning TV comedy writer and bestselling author (Marvel’s Look Out for the Little Guy) Rob Kutner as he shares his new book, The Jews: 5,000 Years and Counting —a comedic survey of all of Jewish history, plus jokes! Kutner will read from his book and then lead participants in writing exercises designed to harness humor to disarm a menacing world.

 

This session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
