Rock Historian, Seth Rogovoy, will explore the secret Jewish history of the Beatles with Boston University music professor Jeremy Yudkin, who grew up in North London during the height of Beatlemania. John Lennon once said, “Show business is an extension of the Jewish religion.” While the four members of The Beatles did not themselves have any Jewish lineage, the circle of personal and professional colleagues surrounding them was heavily Jewish, from their manager, Brian Epstein, to filmmaker Richard Lester to their hairdresser, Leslie Cavendish.
