New York Workers Circle School Passover Seder and Open House

New York Workers Circle School Passover Seder and Open House

Please join us for a secular seder that is interactive and joyful but also pauses for reflection. We will be both silly and serious, improvising skits on the ten plagues, hiding afikomen, and singing in Yiddish, while also considering what it means to see the liberation of the Jewish people as interconnected to the liberation of all peoples.

East End Jews: Curious Tales from London
Mar

East End Jews: Curious Tales from London

Between 1884 and 1954, the London Yiddish press published hundreds of feuilletons (urban sketches) by local writers concerning Yiddish immigrant life in London's East End. These short sketches range from satirical and funny to poignant and moving. They cover a variety of themes, such as war between the sexes in the home, political arguments in cafes, and torah scrolls on the streets. Some of the sketch writers were well known in the Yiddish literary community, but others were only locally popular.

In this talk, Vivi Lachs and Sheva Zucker will perform some of the feuilleton sketches and mull over their themes.
