"Anything For A Laugh - American Comedy And the Making of the American Jewish Soul,"  honors the important role that Jews have played in shaping their own lives and the life of America.

The series of six classes, each of which is about an hour and a half explores, amid an abundance of film clips and filmed documentary sources, the influence of such iconic figures as The Marx Brothers, Gertrude Berg, the creator of "The Goldbergs" on radio and TV, Sid Caesar in the 1950s, Lenny Bruce, Mel Brooks, Larry David, and Jerry Seinfeld.

Next year is also the 30th anniversary of "The Simpsons," and the work of series co-creator, Sam Simon. "The Simpsons" has been acknowledged by Time Magazine and many others as the best television series ever. It may also be among the most important television satires on modern American Jewish life.

The cost of the series is $49 for each participant for the six classes.
