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:Building Secular Life Cycle Rituals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop to examine the role of life cycle rituals in supporting our secular community. How can we support each other at significant points in our lives\, both happy and sad? What can we learn from Jewish traditions? How can we build community-wide involvement and infrastructure to make ritual a regular part of our individual and communal lives?  \nYou will learn about the role of ritual in the lives of BWC members and have the opportunity to experiment with crafting your own rituals. You are welcome if you are interested in the role of ritual in a secular community or have expertise in ritual development or facilitation.  \nThis is a one-time workshop which will lead to the formation of a group of BWC members/leaders committed to making life-cycle rituals an active part of our community life. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Antisemitism: Reclaiming the conversation
DESCRIPTION:6 sessions | April: 20\, 27\, May: 4\, 11\,18\, 25\nThursdays 7:00-8:30 PM ET | HYBRID\nAs we navigate a world with rising white nationalism\, antisemitism\, and threats to democracy\, it can be difficult to distinguish real threats from fear tactics. This course is to help discern our path for building Jewish safety and a vision for a multi-racial\, multi-ethnic\, multi-cultural world\, as well as being able to identify what impedes and divides us\, both currently and historically. \nOver six sessions\, a range of outstanding speakers and facilitators will teach the history of antisemitism and its connections to other forms of oppression\, as well as how we can take action to fight antisemitism rooted in our progressive values. \nCourse sessions: \n\n4/20 – “From Anti-Judaism and Anti-Semitism: Is There a Difference?” with Dr. Shaul Magid\n4/27 – “Antisemitism and White Christian Nationalism” with Ben Lorber of Political Research Associates\n5/4 – “A Black Jewish Perspective on Fighting Racism and Antisemitism” with Rebecca Pierce\n5/11 – “How has Antisemitism divided our movements for Justice in the US?” led by Sophie Ellman-Golan\n5/18 – “Antisemitism and Israel/Palestine” led by Emma Saltzberg from Diaspora Alliance\n5/25 – Facilitated Reflection + integration\n\nEach class will also include a 15 minute schmooze period at 6:45 before the class begins. \nRegister Here
