Yiddish Lite is meant for beginners – those who wish to learn a bissele (a little) Yiddish, common words and phrases), a few simple songs that maybe Bubby or Zeyde sang to you, and a vitz (joke) here and there. Participants will come away from each session with a greater appreciation of the Yiddish language and an ever-increasing Yiddish vocabulary, building a glossary of terms as we go along. Yiddish Lite is a delight. Whether you know no Yiddish at all, or who ken redn a bissel — can speak a little — Yiddish Lite is right for you. Please tune in for the next exciting installment of “Yiddish Lite” Tuesday March 11 (and again on March 25) at 8PM EDT; Register at: https://fjmc.org/initiatives/affinity-groups-webinars/yiddish-lite-affinity-group/.

Dr. McGinity will share findings from her new book “#Us Too: How Jewish, Muslim and Christian Women Changed our Communities“, now available in paper and via Open Access. At a time when women’s rights to bodily autonomy are being questioned, male allies are more important than ever.
