Yiddish has been the language of Ashkenazi Jews for over a thousand years. It was used by writers and artists to create great works of fiction, plays, and music. Yiddish words are everywhere in popular culture and it would be meshuggenah to imagine that anyone hasn’t heard or said at least one Yiddish word. Yiddish is a living language, full of spiel and shtick, irony and humor, expressing all of the subtle distinctions of human character. This is at the heart of one of FJMC’s most popular programs, Yiddish Alive.
Yiddish Alive is an interactive, Zoom based discussion about Yiddish, led by Joe Rotstein, Esther Scheer, Alan Davis, Barry Wagner and Jeffrey Newton, and hosted by Mike Mills. It offers an opportunity to speak a bissele Yiddish, share stories about our Zaidye’s and Bubbie’s, learn the Yiddish word of the day and more.
