SUMMARY:Di Nest: Yiddish Arts Incubator
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to start writing in Yiddish but have questions about creating in a language you are still learning? Have you been making art in Yiddish for a while and want feedback on your latest project? Do you want to be part of the first audience for new Yiddish art and support artists with your feedback? Then join us at Di Nest! \nDi Nest is an arts incubator for Yiddish creativity. Join us to share your own projects and/or to help workshop community members’ works in progress.

Whether you’re just starting to create in Yiddish or have been doing so for years\, you’re welcome to attend! Sessions will be in a mix of Yiddish and English.  \nThis program is a collaboration between Boston Workers Circle and Rad Yiddish. \nRegister here.
