Yiddish Break at Brandeis!*

April 27-29 at Brandeis University*



Redtsu yidish? Do you know Yiddish?
Does your *bubbe*?
Are you curious?
Do you just love to hear others speak it?



Come spend a weekend at Brandeis with Yiddish speakers and students from
around the world, for a weekend of workshops, activities and games, all in
Yiddish!
*
Including:*

Activism:
Learn how to be an activist for Yiddish culture, hear about issues affecting
Jews in social justice movements today, discuss issues that matter and
what's being done about them with other young Yiddish & social justice
enthusiasts.

Film Screenings:
Find out about Yiddish film new and old, from the newly-restored classics to
the newly-released "*A Gesheft*."

Learning:
Learn some key phrases and idioms to impress the grandparents, take part in
a *leyenkrayz* (a reading circle), and read or listen in on a Yiddish story
from one of the great authors, and learn the aleph-beys, just the way the *
rebbe* taught it!

Theater:
Watch young actors from the National Yiddish Theater perform in skits and
sketches, and participate in workshops on how to create your own Yiddish
radio play, just like Dzigan and Shumacher!

Sports and Games:
 Ever wondered how to say "baseball" in Yiddish? Come play "hilke pilke"
with us, and maybe a game of Yiddish Scrabble too!

Music:
We'll have a sing-along around the campfire (that's right, *campfire!!*)
after Shabbos, and plenty of opportunities to sing Yiddish *lider* and dance
to the *freylekhs* of Brandeis klezmer musicians, plus, a unique opportunity
to learn the singing styles of Hasidic women.

Shabbos:
 Sing *zmiros*, listen to a shabbos *shiur* (lecture) on the weekly Torah
Portion, and enjoy Glatt Kosher meals, all in Yiddish!
