Hadasa is a hit! Thanks to your attendance, her Conversational Yiddish group is thriving. We've gotten people's Yiddish speaking muscles flexing with world-recognized Yiddish teacher, scholar, translator and raconteuse Hadasa Cytrynowicz. Originally from Lodz, and later a long-time resident of Brazil, Hadasa brings a wealth of experience and stories, songs, proverbs and sayings, poetry and interesting topics for discussion to her group. Each session is an hour and 15 minutes.
Keep your Yiddish kite flying by attending this group! Admission is by voluntary donation. All levels of Yiddish are welcome. Kumt arayn! Far vos nisht?

Social Action Notes
For the first time since it was introduced in 2001, the U.S. House of Representatives
will vote on the American Dream Act.
This crucial legislation could come up for a vote as soon as TODAY, December 8.
We need you to call your representative as soon as possible and tell him
or her to vote YES on the Dream Act.
|
|
| The DREAM Act is one critical piece of legislation toward ending
discrimination and providing equal opportunity for all.
It is a bipartisan bill that would provide a path to citizenship for immigrant youth
who graduate from U. S. high schools, show good moral character,
arrived to the U. S. before the age of 16, and complete at least 2 years
of college or serve in the armed forces.
Every year, 65,000 students graduate from a U.S. high school without any
realistic possibility of following their dreams. These students grew up here
and want to contribute to this country:
either by attending college and growing the economy, or serving in the US military. |
|
|
| |
This is what the DREAM Act needs from you immediately:
1.Call your Congressional Representative at 1-866-957-2612, and request
a 'yes' vote on the DREAM Act.
4.Stay connected and engaged to the DREAM actions taking place all over the country. Text DREAM or SUENO to 69866 to get updates about
the DREAM Act this week.
|
|
| |
It's important to remember that every action taken is a step forward in making
this DREAM a reality. For almost a decade we have struggled to ensure education
is a right for all students regardless of citizenship status. The fate of this
historic piece of legislation, and with it the hopes and dreams of many,
lies in the actions we take these next days. Let us move forward working together.
