Yiddish Tish

  • A Ner Shalom Zoom Room 85 La Plaza Cotati, CA (map)

Led by Reb Irwin Keller

First Wednesday of Each Month

A Zoom gathering to read the work of Yiddish writers in the original; translate together; discuss, laugh and enjoy. And miraculously, no previous Yiddish knowledge is required. Join us!

We come together during this last week of the Omer, to tap into prayer!

We will begin with a techineh for Shavuot from a Yiddish Women’s Prayerbook.

Then two poems. One by Abraham Reisen called Gebet (“Prayer”) and one by Jacob Glatstein called Tefileh (“Prayer”).

We will look at how all three authors engage prayerfully (or “prayerfully”) with the Divine. This is lovely material, and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Please register using the button above. We gather on Zoom and you will receive the Zoom address upon registration. Registration also gives you the opportunity to make a donation to support this program.

The link for this gathering will be sent to you in the weekly Ner Shalom eBlast. If you are not on our email list and would like to be, sign up here.

See you then. It will be a mekhayeh!
