YIDDISH FOR THE UNSOPHISTICATED

Ted Century

Join us Tuesday, March 9th at 7:30pm to explore the effect of Yiddish on American culture, including the legal system, and with time permitting, conduct a reading of a short story YIDDISH WITH DICK AND JANE. (PG13). I also plan to review commonly used and misused words and expressions which sneaked into the English lexicon while the WASPs weren't looking. Be a mensch and come schmooze with us - you may be surprised how many Yiddish words may have crept into your vocabulary.

Learn how to-
-lead a Seder
-put together your own Haggadah
-make up a Seder plate

Anything you wanted to know about pesach and weren't sure! (seems like this should be edited somehow to more clearly say what I think Abi means?)
