What is Jewish (or not so Jewish) about Barbie? What does renewed interest around the iconic doll due to the new “Barbie” movie mean for Jews, women, and Jewish women? And what Jewish imagery, themes and touchstones are woven throughout the film?
Join us for a virtual event featuring a panel of experts speaking on all things Barbie and Jewish, including: Susan Shapiro, author of “Barbie: 60 Years of Inspiration,” Jodi Eichler-Levine, author of “Painted Pomegranates and Needlepoint Rabbis: How Jews Craft Resilience and Create Community” and Tiffany Shlain, director of “The Tribe,” an exploration of American Jewish identity through the history of the Barbie doll. The conversation will be moderated by Kveller’s Deputy Managing Editor, Lior Zaltzman.
The free virtual event will be this Sunday, August 20th at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT. To attend, just complete this form.
Bring questions of your own for this timely conversation. And wear pink! (Just kidding, but like, maybe not?)
