This hands-on course emphasizes the humor and depth of the Yiddish Culture and encourages the course participants to personally engage in the material.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to learn the Yiddish language and Yiddish culture, in your class. The classes have been delightful, nostalgic and meaningful…You added Yiddish music, poetry, comedy, art and history to enrich the curriculum. Thank you for your work, effort and dedication in preserving Yiddish for this generation and for future generations.”
