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.  Admission is by voluntary donation.

 

Keep your Yiddish kite flying by attending this group! All levels of Yiddish are welcome. Kumt arayn!   

Yiddishkeit : Yiddish Vernaculr & The New Land
The last fully realized work by the late Harvey Pekar illuminates the bluntness and delight of American Yiddish in the last century. 

We're excited for this new anthology of Yiddish comics, and especially proud of our board member Hershl Hartman for his work as an assistant editor on this project. This adds to Hershl's formidable list of publications, translations, articles and more.
