SUMMARY:Irreverent Tales from "East End Jews"
DESCRIPTION:The vivacious and wonderful Vivi Lachs will be visiting us from London and will introduce her latest book and lead discussion on some of the themes raised. The event will take place in person at the BWC Building located at 6 Webster Street in Brookline on Saturday\, June 13 from 3:00 – 4:30pm. \nRegister here. \nCost: Suggested donation $10 for BWC members\, $18 for non-members\, or pay what you can. Please use the Pass-the-Hat donation form to pay for tickets\, and choose Yiddish Committee/Events when prompted on the form. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. \nCopies of the book will be available for sale\, cash only\, for $25 ($10 less than the list price of $35). \nThe book East End Jews offers an unparalleled view into the life\, labour\, politics\, and joys of London’s Jewish East End. Deceptively accessible\, often humorous urban feuilleton sketches from 26 writers in the London Yiddish press capture incisive and sometimes cheeky encounters with challenges and debates of the time. From known writers Brenner\, Winchevsky\, and Kreitman\, to London best sellers Katie Brown\, we get a 1912 discussion in a café about building a Channel Tunnel\, a 1922 agony aunt column around sex wars\, and journeys through local tradition and significant social change\, tracing the ideas and events that impacted the community.   \n“Hilarious\, insightful\, sometimes tragic\, often irreverent\, sometimes startlingly prophetic pieces\, give readers a close-up view of the daily concerns and sensibilities of this community”. Julian Levinson\, University of Michigan. \nVivi Lachs is a social historian\, translator and Yiddish pop singer: an associate researcher at University College London and a Yiddish Book Center Translation Fellow 2026. Her books Whitechapel Noise\, London Yiddishtown and East End Jews explore Jewish history through popular culture. She co-hosts the triple-award winning Cockney Yiddish Podcast\, co-directs the new London Yiddish Players\, runs the Great Yiddish Parade\, leads East End tours and sings the Cockney-Yiddish repertoire with the bands Klezmer Klub and Katsha’nes.

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 \nRegister here.
