Dust Bowls and Jewish Souls

Dust Bowls and Jewish Souls

Saturday, November 14 at 7:30 p.m.

Many know Woody Guthrie as the quintessential Oklahoman balladeer who wrote “This Land Is Your Land,” but Woody’s horizons extended far beyond the dusty Oklahoma hills of his youth. When his wanderings and ramblings brought him to New York City in the 1940s he was introduced—both personally and professional  into a vibrant Jewish culture that he wholeheartedly embraced. Dust Bowls and Jewish Souls explores the impact it had on his songwriting and includes Guthrie’s moving relationship with his mother-in-law, prominent Yiddish poet Aliza Greenblatt. This film presents a whole new side of Woody Guthrie that will change your view of one of America’s most celebrated songwriters and cultural icons.

There will be a $10 admission fee. Non-members are requested to pre-register via website link coming soon.
