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: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.

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.

SUMMARY:Honik af der tsung : Beginners' Yiddish Language Class

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?

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.

SUMMARY:Yiddish Language Class: Advanced Dropkin Dertseytl Nokh Vayter Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting\, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. The course will consist entirely of new materials. No stories previously covered in  2023 or 2024 will be studied this semester. \nדי נאָוואַטאָרישע שרײַבערין ציליע דראָפּקין (1887-1956) האָט אַרײַנגעפֿירט פֿרישע טעמעס און סטיליסטיק אין דער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. די דרײַסטע\, אינטימע שטימע פֿאַר וועלכער איר פּאָעזיע איז אַזוי באַקאַנט\, געפֿינט זיך אויך אין דראָפּקינס דינאַמישע דערציילונגען. דערצו באַגעגנט מען אין דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען איר שאַרפֿן בליק אויף דעם אַרום\, ווי אויך איר פֿעיִקייט קריטיש און קרעפֿטיק צו באַהאַנדלען וויכטיקע סאָציאַלע ענינים. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען אויף אַ קול אַן אָפּקלײַב פֿון דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען\, און וועלן אַרומשמועסן די טעמעס\, פּערסאָנאַזשן\, סיטואַציעס\, סטיליסטיק און קאָנטעקסטן פֿון די דערציילונגען. \nLevel: The class is suited to advanced readers and speakers of Yiddish\, including students in previous BWC advanced classes.

SUMMARY:Yiddish Language Class: Advanced Dropkin Dertseytl Nokh Vayter Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting\, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. The course will consist entirely of new materials. No stories previously covered in  2023 or 2024 will be studied this semester. \nדי נאָוואַטאָרישע שרײַבערין ציליע דראָפּקין (1887-1956) האָט אַרײַנגעפֿירט פֿרישע טעמעס און סטיליסטיק אין דער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. די דרײַסטע\, אינטימע שטימע פֿאַר וועלכער איר פּאָעזיע איז אַזוי באַקאַנט\, געפֿינט זיך אויך אין דראָפּקינס דינאַמישע דערציילונגען. דערצו באַגעגנט מען אין דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען איר שאַרפֿן בליק אויף דעם אַרום\, ווי אויך איר פֿעיִקייט קריטיש און קרעפֿטיק צו באַהאַנדלען וויכטיקע סאָציאַלע ענינים. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען אויף אַ קול אַן אָפּקלײַב פֿון דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען\, און וועלן אַרומשמועסן די טעמעס\, פּערסאָנאַזשן\, סיטואַציעס\, סטיליסטיק און קאָנטעקסטן פֿון די דערציילונגען. \nLevel: The class is suited to advanced readers and speakers of Yiddish\, including students in previous BWC advanced classes. Students who want to listen rather than read are welcome to join the class. We will discuss Dropkin’s work in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nMaterials: This class will read and discuss stories that appear in Celia Dropkin’s 1959 edition of In Heysn Vint\, which can be found online for free here.

DESCRIPTION:Course Description: Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting\, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. The course will consist entirely of new materials. No stories previously covered in  2023 or 2024 will be studied this semester. \nדי נאָוואַטאָרישע שרײַבערין ציליע דראָפּקין (1887-1956) האָט אַרײַנגעפֿירט פֿרישע טעמעס און סטיליסטיק אין דער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. די דרײַסטע\, אינטימע שטימע פֿאַר וועלכער איר פּאָעזיע איז אַזוי באַקאַנט\, געפֿינט זיך אויך אין דראָפּקינס דינאַמישע דערציילונגען. דערצו באַגעגנט מען אין דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען איר שאַרפֿן בליק אויף דעם אַרום\, ווי אויך איר פֿעיִקייט קריטיש און קרעפֿטיק צו באַהאַנדלען וויכטיקע סאָציאַלע ענינים. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען אויף אַ קול אַן אָפּקלײַב פֿון דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען\, און וועלן אַרומשמועסן די טעמעס\, פּערסאָנאַזשן\, סיטואַציעס\, סטיליסטיק און קאָנטעקסטן פֿון די דערציילונגען. \nLevel: The class is suited to advanced readers and speakers of Yiddish\, including students in previous BWC advanced classes. Students who want to listen rather than read are welcome to join the class. We will discuss Dropkin’s work in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nMaterials: This class will read and discuss stories that appear in Celia Dropkin’s 1959 edition of In Heysn Vint\, which can be found online for free here.

SUMMARY:Advanced
DESCRIPTION:Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting\, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Advanced Brenendike Verter: Yidishe Dikhterins In Ukraine Nokh Der Revolutsye
DESCRIPTION:Level: The class is suited to advanced speakers and readers of Yiddish including students in past advanced BWC Yiddish classes.. We will discuss the poems and poets in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nAvantgarde Yiddish women poets were trailblazers in the development of secular Yiddish literature in post-revolution Ukraine. The daring themes and imagery of many of their poems signified a fiery break with the restrictions of the past. In this course\, we will read a selection of these poems\, and will discuss the themes and stylistics\, as well as the biographical\, sociohistorical and literary contexts of the poems. We will explore ways that these poets transgressed gendered expectations in their subversive verse. \nברענענדיקע ווערטער: ייִדישע דיכטערינס אין אוקראַינע נאָך דער רעװאָלוציע \nייִדישע דיכטערינס האָבן קרעפֿטיק גענומען דאָס וואָרט אין אוקראַינע אין דער נאָך-רעוואָלוציע \nתּקופֿה. זיי האָבן זיך אויסגעצייכנט מיט די באַזונדערקייטן פֿון זייערע טעמעס און בילדער\, און \nמיט זייערע שעפֿערישע שפּילערײַען מיט ווערטער און קלאַנגען. זייערע אָריגינעלע לידער זײַנען \nאַ וויכטיקער צושטײַער צו דער אַנטוויקלונג פֿון וועלטלעכער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען די פֿלאַמיקע פֿערזן פֿון פֿאַרשיידענע דינאַמישע דיכטערינס\, און וועלן \nאַרומרעדן די טײַטשן\, טעמעס און סטיליסטיק פֿון די לידער\, און די קאָנטעקסטן אין וועלכע די \nלידער זײַנען דערשינען.

SUMMARY:Intermediates – Yehoyash’s Yiddish translation of the Tanakh
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an early evening weekly reading group studying Yehoyash’s Yiddish translation of the Tanakh\, in the book of Breyshis (Genesis). Brush up on your biblical vocabulary\, take a stroll down to Mitzrayim with Yosef and his brethren and shvestren\, practice your reading fluency by chanting repetitive verses about the long lives of the ancestors who begat named sons and nameless daughters\, and role play as an ancient sage or shtetl melamed by attempting to explain and expand upon the meanings of these ancient verses.  \nLevel:  This section is intended for continuing BWC intermediates.  New students who have experience reading and speaking Yiddish within or outside of a classroom setting and who want a facilitated reading class are welcome to join. Grammar will be reviewed as it comes up in the text.  \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Abby Howell

SUMMARY:Advanced Brenendike Verter: Yidishe Dikhterins In Ukraine Nokh Der Revolutsye
DESCRIPTION:Level: The class is suited to advanced speakers and readers of Yiddish including students in past advanced BWC Yiddish classes.. We will discuss the poems and poets in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nAvantgarde Yiddish women poets were trailblazers in the development of secular Yiddish literature in post-revolution Ukraine. The daring themes and imagery of many of their poems signified a fiery break with the restrictions of the past. In this course\, we will read a selection of these poems\, and will discuss the themes and stylistics\, as well as the biographical\, sociohistorical and literary contexts of the poems. We will explore ways that these poets transgressed gendered expectations in their subversive verse. \nברענענדיקע ווערטער: ייִדישע דיכטערינס אין אוקראַינע נאָך דער רעװאָלוציע \nייִדישע דיכטערינס האָבן קרעפֿטיק גענומען דאָס וואָרט אין אוקראַינע אין דער נאָך-רעוואָלוציע \nתּקופֿה. זיי האָבן זיך אויסגעצייכנט מיט די באַזונדערקייטן פֿון זייערע טעמעס און בילדער\, און \nמיט זייערע שעפֿערישע שפּילערײַען מיט ווערטער און קלאַנגען. זייערע אָריגינעלע לידער זײַנען \nאַ וויכטיקער צושטײַער צו דער אַנטוויקלונג פֿון וועלטלעכער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען די פֿלאַמיקע פֿערזן פֿון פֿאַרשיידענע דינאַמישע דיכטערינס\, און וועלן \nאַרומרעדן די טײַטשן\, טעמעס און סטיליסטיק פֿון די לידער\, און די קאָנטעקסטן אין וועלכע די \nלידער זײַנען דערשינען.

SUMMARY:Intermediates – Yehoyash’s Yiddish translation of the Tanakh
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an early evening weekly reading group studying Yehoyash’s Yiddish translation of the Tanakh\, in the book of Breyshis (Genesis). Brush up on your biblical vocabulary\, take a stroll down to Mitzrayim with Yosef and his brethren and shvestren\, practice your reading fluency by chanting repetitive verses about the long lives of the ancestors who begat named sons and nameless daughters\, and role play as an ancient sage or shtetl melamed by attempting to explain and expand upon the meanings of these ancient verses.  \nLevel:  This section is intended for continuing BWC intermediates.  New students who have experience reading and speaking Yiddish within or outside of a classroom setting and who want a facilitated reading class are welcome to join. Grammar will be reviewed as it comes up in the text.  \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Abby Howell

SUMMARY:Advanced Brenendike Verter: Yidishe Dikhterins In Ukraine Nokh Der Revolutsye
DESCRIPTION:Level: The class is suited to advanced speakers and readers of Yiddish including students in past advanced BWC Yiddish classes.. We will discuss the poems and poets in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nAvantgarde Yiddish women poets were trailblazers in the development of secular Yiddish literature in post-revolution Ukraine. The daring themes and imagery of many of their poems signified a fiery break with the restrictions of the past. In this course\, we will read a selection of these poems\, and will discuss the themes and stylistics\, as well as the biographical\, sociohistorical and literary contexts of the poems. We will explore ways that these poets transgressed gendered expectations in their subversive verse. \nברענענדיקע ווערטער: ייִדישע דיכטערינס אין אוקראַינע נאָך דער רעװאָלוציע \nייִדישע דיכטערינס האָבן קרעפֿטיק גענומען דאָס וואָרט אין אוקראַינע אין דער נאָך-רעוואָלוציע \nתּקופֿה. זיי האָבן זיך אויסגעצייכנט מיט די באַזונדערקייטן פֿון זייערע טעמעס און בילדער\, און \nמיט זייערע שעפֿערישע שפּילערײַען מיט ווערטער און קלאַנגען. זייערע אָריגינעלע לידער זײַנען \nאַ וויכטיקער צושטײַער צו דער אַנטוויקלונג פֿון וועלטלעכער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען די פֿלאַמיקע פֿערזן פֿון פֿאַרשיידענע דינאַמישע דיכטערינס\, און וועלן \nאַרומרעדן די טײַטשן\, טעמעס און סטיליסטיק פֿון די לידער\, און די קאָנטעקסטן אין וועלכע די \nלידער זײַנען דערשינען.

SUMMARY:History of Yiddish Music
DESCRIPTION:Never heard of Naftule Brandwein? No problem. Welcome to your turntable intervention. \nJoin Seattle renegade klezmer Miles (Mai Li Pittard) for your five-class guided tour through the 500-year adventure of Yiddish music: the hits; the stories and scandals; and Miles’ controversial argument for a recent new\, distinct ‘revival’ wave. This interactive listening and historical lecture class will focus on recordings\, “needle-dropping” standards in different eras to showcase the changes in bands’ styles and conventions in groove over time\, and hit a solid selection of must-hears through history (including recent releases!)\, with some special spotlights on queer artists throughout history. This class is not quite music appreciation and not quite history–more like an elevator pitch for the through line and relevancy of modern klezmer and Yiddish music\, and the widely-known conspiracy from Big Klezmer to get you hooked on the good stuff (and the stories behind it). Everyone will leave this class with at least one new weird historical story and a solid listening list that will change your life. No experience necessary; only enthusiasm required. Registration information can be found here.

SUMMARY:History of Yiddish Music
DESCRIPTION:Never heard of Naftule Brandwein? No problem. Welcome to your turntable intervention. \nJoin Seattle renegade klezmer Miles (Mai Li Pittard) for your five-class guided tour through the 500-year adventure of Yiddish music: the hits; the stories and scandals; and Miles’ controversial argument for a recent new\, distinct ‘revival’ wave. This interactive listening and historical lecture class will focus on recordings\, “needle-dropping” standards in different eras to showcase the changes in bands’ styles and conventions in groove over time\, and hit a solid selection of must-hears through history (including recent releases!)\, with some special spotlights on queer artists throughout history. This class is not quite music appreciation and not quite history–more like an elevator pitch for the through line and relevancy of modern klezmer and Yiddish music\, and the widely-known conspiracy from Big Klezmer to get you hooked on the good stuff (and the stories behind it). Everyone will leave this class with at least one new weird historical story and a solid listening list that will change your life. No experience necessary; only enthusiasm required. Registration information can be found here.

SUMMARY:Continuing Intermediates - Yehoyash's Yiddish Translation of the Tanakh
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an early evening weekly reading group studying Yehoyash’s Yiddish translation of the Tanakh\, in the book of Breyshis (Genesis). Brush up on your biblical vocabulary as you immerse yourself in the tehom (watery depths)\, read about the exploits of the nefilim (antediluvian giants)\, practice your reading fluency by chanting repetitive verses about the long lives of the ancestors who begat named sons and nameless daughters\, and role play as an ancient sage or shtetl melamed by attempting to explain and expandupon the meanings of these ancient verses. Level: This section is intended for continuing BWC intermediates. New students who have experience reading and speaking Yiddish within or outside of a classroom setting are welcome to join. Grammar will be reviewed as it comes up in the text. Materials: Provided by instructor. Instructor: Abby Howell Registration information can be found here.
