All About the Yiddish Conference in Pittsburgh
|
Pittsburgh, PA | April 26-29, 2013
The heart and soul of Yiddish activities occurs when we get together. In clubs, conferences, classes, or concerts.
One of the most successful and rewarding experiences for Fishl has been the 14 previous Yiddish Club Conferences. The upcoming one in Pittsburgh, PA will have some unusual innovations which will make it the best ever. One of them is the midnight Yiddish in Slippers: A Dream Sequence. Another one will be a real, live wedding performed Saturday night.
