The Big Jewish Quiz Thing, Tuesday, August 23 at 8pm, $5
The Big Quiz Thing, NYC’s live-trivia spectacular, presents a special-edition game-show smackdown, pitting New York’s savviest Jewish bigwigs against each other in a trivia contest of all things Hebraic.
Josh Neuman (HEEB magazine), Jessica Coen (Editor, Gawker.com), Rachel Kramer Bussel (The Village Voice), Susannah (AKA The Goddess) Perlman (Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad), Steven I. Weiss (Canonist.com), Rabbi Andy Bachman (Brooklyn Jews) and more test their Talmudic talent for a chance to win prizes and glory. Hosted by Ashkenazic quizmaster Noah Tarnow, Sephardic sidekick EDP, and gentile DJ GB.
The 14th Street Y is located at 344 East 14th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues and can be reached by taking the L Train to First Avenue or the 4,5,6,Q, N, R, or W Trains to Union Square. For more information visit, www.14StreetY.org or call 212.780.0800.
I’m tempted, via the blogs and whatnot, to get this thing going early. Obvious sarcastic first question to Neuman: hey, who developed the hora?
