All Yiddish speakers and students are invited to attend and hear about Henry Slucki's life as a child in Europe during the Holocaust. Admission is by voluntary donation.
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! All levels of Yiddish are welcome. Kumt arayn! Far vos nisht? |

Judaism 101: A (respectful) Secular View of traditions, laws, customs and practices What to wear, what to eat-how to woo, whom to greet: Jewish fundamentalism-how is it different from others? Or is it? Taboos and how they grew. Why are peyes (sidelocks) "weird," but yarmulkes (kipot) are "cool"? Are progressive congregations really free of gender bias? And what about tikun olam? PLUS: The socio-political and socio-geographic origins of the Hebrew Bible.
