A Skirball Academy Class
Naomi Miller
A Bisl Yiddish
(Fall 2023)
Pick up the basics of conversational Yiddish by taking a unique simulated trip to the old Catskills’ hotels and bungalow colonies. You’ll make your own reservations, check in and then . . . eat, eat, eat, kvetch, talk about last night’s Mel Brooks performance — and the upcoming comedy show of Henny Youngman — before eating some more. Then you’ll plan your daytime activities from “Simon Says” to dance lessons . . . all in Yiddish. No prior knowledge required.
Tuesdays, 6:30 – 8:00 PM
October 17, 24, 31, November 7, 14, 21
$180, $120 Temple Emanu-El members
Free for Friends of Streicker
