Judie Magidson. Elvis Presley’s Jewish Roots. Author Interview Series with Matt Robinson.
January 8, 2026 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Please join Dr. Judie Magidson as she gives a presentation on the life and times of Elvis Presley on January 8, 2026 at 7:00 PM at the Community Hub. 1320 Centre St., Newton.
You will learn interesting information about the decades in which he lived, including his Jewish roots and connections and you’ll enjoy hearing stories about this person, even from his tender ages of two, four, and ten years old.
It’s a lively presentation with a slideshow, including musical and other video clips of Elvis.
Dr. Magidson, a writer, has extensive classroom teaching and tutoring experience from preschool through college, counseling and educational consulting experience with students and families, and English Second Language certification. She is a published author for much of her work and now she brings her presentation to you, not to promote her yet to be published book, but to share little known facts and other points of interest about this complex and fascinating global figure.

Coffee, tee, and sweets will be served.
