SUMMARY:Intermediate Yiddish: Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Build confidence in your Yiddish – reading\, speaking\, and listening\, in a supportive and welcoming classroom of intermediate Yiddish students. We’ll focus on building reading fluency\, comprehension strategies\, dictionary skills\, and making meaning from texts while enjoying selections from the canon of Yiddish literature. In this class\, you will find abundant opportunities to stretch and grow your Yiddish. We’ll read slowly\, translate continuously\, and look up every unfamiliar word as we read (in Yiddish) and discuss (in English and Yiddish) literature together. This semester\, we’ll continue reading the memoirs of 19th-century feminist icon Puah Rakovsky\, whose spellbinding tell-all memoir describes her experiences of arranged marriage\, teen motherhood\, rejecting her religious upbringing\, divorcing her parents’ son-in-law\, starting a career\, and becoming one of the world’s first women’s rights activists. \nLearn more and register here.

SUMMARY:Counting the Omer Playwriting Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Who: Writers of all kinds! No playwriting experience necessary. \nWhat:  As we count the days from Pesach to Shavuot\, we invite members of our creative Jewish community to attend a series of low-stakes\, reflective playwriting workshops. Each week\, we will engage with text as a group\, then each write a two-page play based on the corresponding sefirot. These plays can connect to each other\, or each can exist in its own little world — the journey is ours to discover! \nWe hope to share some of these plays with our community on Shavuot – details TBA!  \n When: Tuesday nights\, April 14th – May 19th\, 7-8:30pm \n    Where: Hybrid – Boston Workers Circle (6 Webster Street in Brookline) and Zoom \n    How: Register here. \n    Please bring: Your writing implements of choice\, maybe some yummy snacks (hot tea provided!) \n    With support from Nehar Shalom members and the BWC’s Graggernicks

SUMMARY:“From Margin to Center\, From Opposition to Power” - a Conversation with Dove Kent on her Vision for the Jewish Left
DESCRIPTION:At the Conference on the Jewish Left in February\, Dove Kent presented a provocative talk. (View the recording here.) Join Dove and BWC’s Israel Palestine Committee on April 14 from 7:30 to 9:00pm on Zoom for a deep dive on how we go “From Margin to Center\, From Opposition to Power”.  \nIn her talk\, Dove asserts that it is time for the Jewish Left to advance a vision for fighting antisemitism in the context of fighting all oppressions\, in a multiracial democratic movement.  It’s time for the Jewish Left to lead a coalition that replaces the “legacy” Jewish organizations\, currently in disarray due to their failed strategy of aligning with the U.S. right and exceptionalizing Jews. Since these organizations no longer speak for the majority of U.S. Jews\, the U.S. Jewish Left (the most organized in the world) has an opportunity to build a movement based on Jewish values.  \nJoin us as BWC Executive Director\, Rebecca Zimmerman Hornstein\, moderates a Q&A session where Dove will elaborate on the ideas she presented at the Conference as\, together\, we explore next steps for BWC and like-minded Jewish Left institutions. \nDove Kent has two decades of experience in grassroots organizing\, political education\, and movement building. She served as the Executive Director of Jews for Racial & Economic Justice\, Senior Strategy Officer at Bend the Arc\, co-Founder of Tzedek Lab\, and currently as the Interim International Executive Director of Diaspora Alliance. Dove is a nationally recognized leader and teacher on dismantling antisemitism and has been published in anthologies and news outlets including The Guardian\, NPR\, Ha’aretz\, and Jewish Currents. She is the co-author of the culture-shifting publication “Understanding Antisemitism: An Offering to our Movement.” \nRegister here: bit.ly/DoveKentConvo
