SUMMARY:Write a New Protest Song
DESCRIPTION:As we head into (further) political uncertainty\, we come together to use our creativity and raise our voices. In this workshop led by Adah Hetko\, we’ll explore types and uses of protest songs\, and characteristics that make protest songs useful\, powerful\, and memorable. Then\, we’ll brainstorm song topics and phrases together\, take time to work on songs (individually or in small groups) in a supportive environment\, and regroup for an optional share-back. No songwriting experience necessary and all languages welcome. \nRegister here. \nAbout the presenter: Adah Hetko is a Yiddish singer/songwriter\, dance-leader and educator based in Roslindale\, MA. Several of her compositions are featured on the album Levyosn’s Lullaby\, recorded with her ensemble Levyosn (Ashkenazi Hebrew for “Leviathan”)\, and released by Borscht Beat in June 2023. Levyosn’s Lullaby has been described as “one of those special recordings that brings joy and a smile each time it is heard” (Ari Davidow) and “a warm Yiddish blanket [to] calm your frayed nerves” (Rokhl Kafrissen). The ensemble’s second album\, Levyosn’s Dream\, will be released in June 2026. Adah has developed her knowledge and skills in many ways\, including performing with ensemble Soloveychicks\, completing an ethnographic study of contemporary Yiddish women singers (and completing an MA in Jewish Studies at Indiana University in the process)\, teaching Yiddish songwriting with Daniel Kahn and Josh Waletzky\, studying Yiddish song and dance-leading with veteran artist Judy Bressler\, and teaching Yiddish songs to students ages 5-95. Check out Adah’s website to learn more about her work. \nThis program is presented in partnership by BWC’s Yiddish Committee and Acting for Racial and Economic Justice Committee.

For most of our community members\, if we want a Yiddish-speaking environment\, we have to proactively create one—so that’s what we’re doing! Here are some guidelines for being part of a language-immersion activity. \nAsking how to say something? Perfectly fine; we do this all the time. Tossing in a short English word or phrase—especially an idiom or quote—while keeping the conversation in Yiddish? Common among American Yiddish speakers and also perfectly fine. However\, we ask participants to avoid telling anecdotes or otherwise speaking in English for an extended period of time. Conversing in English disrupts the Yiddish-language environment\, and it takes away learning opportunities for students. Yiddish speakers and students at all levels are welcome at farbreng. It’s normal to feel nervous about your Yiddish\, but we applaud and encourage all students and speakers to use Yiddish. If you have any questions about the program\, please write to us at farbreng-boston@yugntruf.org
