Join a warm, judgment-free leyenkrayz (reading circle) conducted entirely in Yiddish, designed for Intermediate II and Advanced students. Explore and translate selections from Ezra Korman’s 1928 Chicago anthology Yidishe Dikhterins (“Yiddish Women Poets”). The focus will be on female poets from Ukraine, including Dine Lipkes, Khane Levin, Mire Khenkin, and Anyuta Pyatigorskaya. Along the way, you’ll deepen your reading fluency, enrich your vocabulary, and discover the life stories behind these remarkable voices.
Prerequisites: Solid Yiddish reading skills and a basic working vocabulary are required.
