Should a radical anarchist love going to the opera? To answer this complicated question, join Dr. Samantha M.

This event originally aired on September 12th, 2023 and was co-sponsored with the American Society for Jewish Music the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.
