Yiddish: An Introduction to Language & Culture (On One Foot!)
Have you ever kvetched, noshed, or schmoozed? Tripped over nothing and called yourself a klutz? Assembled the tchotchkes on your desk? All those neat words are from Yiddish, one of the most widely spoken Jewish languages in history. It’s got a really interesting history at that, which will be presented by Sebastian Schulman of the Yiddish Book Center at this engaging talk. Go beyond the stereotypes you may know about the language and dive in to explore its origins, literature, and culture. As far as why it’s on one foot? You have to hop in to find out. – Kat McNevins
