Notable Jewish Lives via Zoom

Moe Howard and The Three Stooges

Our own Jeffrey Rosen will recap the life of Moe and his buddies Larry and Curly (The Three Stooges). They appeared in more than 200 short films from the 1950s and their popularity endured into the early 1960s (for many of us they populated our TV viewing as children). Starting out in vaudeville, they created a lasting legacy of “low humor” that assured a quick laugh. What comedians could ask for more?
