“Found Jewish princess. Good-bye succulent pork.”
“More Philip Roth than David Lee.”
“He’s a doctor and he’s single.”
“Jewish dad, Wiccan mom, so f**ked.”
“Didn’t get Seinfeld ’til met in-laws.”
“Moved to Israel. Rest is history.”

On September 21, 2011, SMITH, along with Tablet Magazine, and Reboot present, “Oy! Only Six? Why Not More?” A Six-Word Story Show on the Jewish Life at the 92YTribeca, 7pm, 200 Hudson St. in downtown NYC.

From identity and mother issues, from unfettered love of kugel to inner conflict over Israel, and the sheer joy of discussing and debating… everything, the Jewish life is a rich and storied one for Jews and non-Jews alike. The night starts at 6 p.m. with a Happy Hour at 92YTribeca’s beautiful bar, where you can meet other six-lovers over drink specials. At 7 p.m., the show begins: six performers, six minutes or less each to tell their backstory behind the six words. The evening ends with audience participation Six-Word Slam: you’re invited to share your own six words on the Jewish life or any part of your life at all.

Get advance, discounted tickets at the 92YTribeca event page, and tickets will also be available at the door.
