with Esther Cohen Hexter

 

Read and explore stories from America’s greatest Yiddish newspaper, the Forward, many in English for the first time, from a new anthology that gathers a century’s worth of fiction. Teeming with life, both funny and bittersweet, this collection honors not only a language, but a world itself. All readings are in English. Have I Got A Story for You provides a panoramic view into a vanishing, and irreplaceable, Jewish cosmos. Invite friends to join in lively discussions for senior adults and friends; or give contact info to Esther Hexter. Everyone is welcome to join our conversation. No prerequisite, only a desire to learn.  

 

Time: 6 Wednesdays, 11:15 AM-12:45 PM, Jan.  10, 17, 24, 31, Feb. 7 & 14, 2018
