JOIN US, Sunday March 22nd, 2026 for a discussion of the research behind the book
Mark your calendars for the next Kanter Lecture on March 22 “ Shakespeare’s Secret Jews” featuring Ben Doenenberg, head of the Los Angeles Shakespeare Center. If you were in LA at the last conference, hopefully you heard this marvelous lecture. If not, this is your chance. Ben’s insight into Shakespeare’s contact with the London Jewish community influenced more than his writing.
We hope you’ll join us. Registration opens March 1st.
About the lecture:
Is it possible that the great writer of sonnets, plays and poems, William Shakespeare, was deeply aware of the presence of hidden Jews in London society? Was there any truth to his rumored liaison with a Jewish woman, in some ways his muse? As a dramatist and professional theater historian, Ben Donenberg, founder and director of the Los Angeles Shakespeare Center, presented a stirring and fascinating look into the Bard’s many works, wherein various Jewish characters played a specific role. (Most Jews in London at that time were from Spain or Portugal originally.) This talk was delivered at the Los Angeles 2025 conference and was found so interesting, that we felt those of you who missed it should be able to hear it.
