Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel changed the world.

5 P.M. E.T. Ballad for Two Friends: How Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan built a tower of song
Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen were huge fans of each other — and the influence cut both ways. One a Jew from Montreal, the other from Minnesota, the two men personified an offbeat style of cool, and, with unmistakable voices, sang some of the 20th century’s greatest poetry.
We're excited to partner with the Contemporary Jewish Museum for this conversation in which we shine a light on two prophets of song, one agonized by every line, another whose best work was written in a frenzy, each in their own ways radical tellers of truth in the Jewish tradition.
Forward culture reporter PJ Grisar will moderate with special guests Larry "Ratso" Sloman, author and musician; Denise Sullivan, music journalist and historian; and musical performances from Ezra Furman, Ismay, and Creston Spiers.
This talk will be recorded and sent to registrants.
THURSDAY NOV 11
8 P.M. E.T. Last Call for He’Brew Beer
