The Mosse/Weinstein Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will be presenting a program on “Jewish Madison in the 1960s” on Sunday, Dec. 8, at The Standard Club, 320 S. Plymouth Ct., Chicago.
UW-Madison was a center of political activism and academic innovation in the 1960s. It was also home to prominent Jewish intellectuals and the destination for thousands of Jewish students. This presentation will explore the question, “What, if anything, was ‘Jewish’ about the events in Madison in the 1960s?”
The featured speakers will be Madison Mayor Paul Soglin, composer-pianist-popular music authority Ben Sidran and activist-social worker-psychotherapist Jane Brotman, all of them Jewish students at UW-Madison during this period.
Hors d’oeuvres will be served beginning at 4 p.m., with the program starting at 5 p.m. RSVP deadline is Dec. 2. For more information, call 608-890-3572 or email events-lectures@cjs.wisc.edu.
