Our Popular Yiddish Series!

What Yiddish Tells Us About Being Jewish
Part II

We will study works of great Yiddish poets and songwriters, including such topics as Torah, the Yiddish labor movement, Love, Jewish life and values, Children vs. parents, Resistance to oppression and the Holocaust. There will be study of vocabulary and grammar of the songs so that students can learn more of the language, but the emphasis of the classes will be on the content of the literature, the use of Yiddish language to express Jewish ways of thinking, and the significance of the ideas expressed in Jewish culture.

We'll continue with our list of Yiddish idiomatic expressions, and play some Yiddish vocabulary games. No prior study of Yiddish language or attendance at the first series is required. Adults and teenagers welcome.
Yiddish Class will meet on the following Sundays from 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
