SUMMARY:CANCELED: Taste of Yiddish: Yiddish Language Through Song with Jonah Sidman
DESCRIPTION:Classes will take place from 7:30-9:00pm at the BWC Building in Brookline on the following Wednesdays: May 7\, May 14\, (skip May 21)\, May 28\, June 4\, and June 11. \nRegister here! \nWhether you already know some Yiddish or not\, this is a chance to immerse yourself in Yiddish language\, music\, culture\, and history. Each class will focus on songs around a particular theme\, including leftism and labor\, springtime and nature\, and more. Students will learn 2-3 songs per class by ear and with written lyrics in English transliteration\, sing together\, discuss historical and cultural context\, and listen to traditional and new artists’ interpretations.  We will focus on the pronunciation and language of the songs\, with occasional extensions into basic Yiddish vocabulary and grammar. English transliteration and translation will be provided for each song. \nBonus! Boston Workers Circle’s monthly Yiddish Sing complements this course\, offering the public an informal and free setting for singing Yiddish songs together once a month\, currently hybrid.  See circleboston.org/yiddish-community-informal-learning/#sing for more information.

SUMMARY:Yiddish Language Class: Advanced Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nLevel: The class is suited to advanced readers and speakers of Yiddish\, including students in previous BWC advanced classes and intermediates ready to make the leap to a new level. We will read and discuss a selection of Fradl Shtok’s writing in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. Students who want to listen rather than read are welcome to join the class. \nWondering whether this class is right for you? If you’d like to be in a warm\, nurturing class that’s conducted in Yiddish\, and that will extend your Yiddish language proficiency and your understanding of Yiddish literature\, we encourage you to give it a try! RSVP for a trial class here. \nMaterials:  We will study a selection of short stories\, poems and critical writing by Fradl Shtok. The stories will be drawn from Shtok’s 1919 collection\, Gezamlte ertseylungen\, which can be downloaded for free from the Yiddish Book Centre here. Copies of poems\, critical writings\, and other course materials will be provided. \nCourse Description: Fradl Shtok (1890-1990) is an enigmatic and captivating writer of passionate poems\, finely observed short stories\, and illuminating literary essays. Her short stories capture the nuances of shtetl and immigrant life\, peeling away the layers with sharp\, ironic perceptions. Her pioneering sonnets and other poems are crafted with skill\, precision and attention to aesthetics that juxtaposes powerfully with the unrestrained desire that many of her poems embody. Studying Shtok’s texts in Yiddish enables the reader to savour the sensuous sounds\, skillful wordplay and musicality that are central to her writing.
