Learn more about the creative, sometimes controversial genius of Art Spiegelman, Joann Sfar, the Bolshoi Ballet, Barbara Streisand, Irving Berlin, Roman Polanski and Woody Allen. And don't miss dancing a giant horah to the tune of that ubiquitous Jewish party tune, "Hava Nagila" at our Matzoh Momma Sunday Brunch before the film Hava Nagila (The Movie) about its fantastic story.
