The Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University invites you their fall kickoff event! Join us as we commemorate the 125th anniversary of Theodor Herzl’s “The Jewish State.” Watch the premiere screening of “Herzlmania,” a short film celebrating David Matlow’s Theodor Herzl Memorabilia Collection, the world’s largest private collection of Herzl artifacts. Then take a deeper look at the legacy of this pivotal figure in a lecture by Herzl’s biographer, Derek Penslar, the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History at Harvard University and author of “Theodor Herzl: The Charismatic Leader” (Yale University Press, 2020). Filmmaker Daniel Mooney directed “Herzlmania,” and the film was commissioned by the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University.
