Got Chutzpah?

First impressions don’t always hold true. So if you think CU-Boulder’s Goldberger Week of Jewish Culture is synonymous with dull and academic, think again. Designed this year to tie in with the university’s ambitious ongoing series MoVeRs: Jewish Mavericks, Visionaries and Rebels, the week’s programs include not only the lectures you’d expect (about everything from Jewish Communists in the 1930s to a new Jewish vision of Jesus and Paul), but also a documentary screening, a fresh Middle Eastern hip-hop concert and “human beat-box” Yuri Lane’s street-wise performance piece From Tel Aviv to Ramallah: A Hip Hop Travelogue of Peace (see www.westword.com/2007-03-08/calendar/beatbox-thespians).
