On April 22, 2007, Nextbook presented it first Festival of Ideas in Los Angeles, Acting Jewish: Film, TV, Comedy, Music. Held on the UCLA campus, the festival brought together more than 20 writers, actors, directors, scholars, and musicians to talk about the imaginary Jews of popular culture and their real life counterparts.
