Says proprieter Susan Weis, "Lisa’s event here in January was such a hit that she’s coming back! Don’t miss her this time – or come back for more! Lisa offers a wonderful presentation of trivia and history of Jews around the world and is both funny and moving. (Elvis’ mother was Jewish? Go know!) The conclusion is that it’s very cool to be a Jew. Lisa is not only cool, she’s delightful."
