Laughter through Tears: Reconstructing the Lost Jewish Art of Badkhones
Joshua Horowitz, musician and independent scholar (Berkeley, CA)
James Loeffler, Corcoran Dept. of History
Joel Rubin, McIntire Dept. of Music
Nov. 20, 12PM
Univ. of Virginia
New Cabell Hall 236
For centuries, Jewish weddings in Eastern Europe featured the unique art of the badkhn, the professional Jewish wedding jester. Poorly documented and little studied, this tradition, part liturgical, part comedic, remains a crucial key to understanding classical Ashkenazi Jewish culture. This colloquium will feature historical examples followed by discussion from ethnomusicological and historical perspectives based on individual fieldwork and archival research.

This event is co-sponsored by the UVA Jewish Studies Program, McIntire Department of Music, and the Jewish Music Forum.
