JOSEPH PAPP CHILDREN’S FUND
Jeff Goldblum Inside An
Elevator
With Israeli Muzak
Story and Photos by Tim Boxer
 EFFREY
TAMBOUR of Broadway’s Glengarry Glen Ross introduced the
guest of honor at the Joseph Papp Children’s Humanitarian Fund
dinner: “He was born in
Pittsburgh
as Jeffrey Lynn Goldblum and started acting under the name Lynn
Goldblum. Realizing that people were confused, even his friends,
about his gender, he dropped
Lynn
, shortened his name and became Jeff Goldblum,” now
starring on Broadway in The Pillowman.
The dinner, sponsored by Tzivos Hashem to aid
homeless children in
Ukraine, was at the newly opened Jewish Children’s Museum in
Crown
Heights, Brooklyn. Jerry Cutler came in from Los Angeles
to produce the event.
Executive director Rabbi Yerachmiel
Benjaminson escorted Goldblum and friends on a tour of the
six-story high-tech facility.
They got into a slow moving elevator, which
afforded folksinger Ron Eliran a sterling opportunity to
entertain a captive audience with his Israeli repertoire.
