SUMMARY:The Art of Yiddish: Saving a Singular Endangered Language and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Yiddish is the Germanic-based language spoken by most Jews in the world for a millennium and has been the vehicle for an as-yet unparalleled global Jewish artistic expression. But today\, that minority language whose humor\, wisdom and poignancy thoroughly inspired American popular culture\, is in danger of extinction. \nIn this program\, Miri Koral\, Founding Director of the California Institute for Yiddish Culture and Language\, will discuss what makes this 1\,000-year-old language so unique and what is being done to safeguard it.

SUMMARY:EK Velt - An Incredible Dream at the Far Reaches of the World
DESCRIPTION:עק װעלט׃ די פֿאַרכאַפּנדיקע מעשׂה\nפֿון ייִדיש אין ביראָבידזשאַן \nPlease join us for the fascinating story of BIROBIDZHAN — a remote and forbidding territory in Russia’s far east\, known as the Jewish Autonomous Region. Was it set up as Stalin’s diabolical or benevolent answer to the “Jewish question”? What has happened to it and its dream of a Yiddish-speaking land since? \nThe only West Coast presentation by very special guest from NYC\, native son and now beloved Yiddish educator\nNikolai (Kolya) Borodulin. \nBirobidzhan has one of the most interesting histories related to Russia and the USSR\, and to Yiddish culture in particular. Known as the Jewish Autonomous Oblast (Region) (JAO)\, it was established in 1928 by Stalin for a host of strategic reasons pertaining to securing the sensitive border with China\, and ostensibly for the benefit of Jews to be “more productive members of society”\, i.e.\, farmers. It has the unique distinction of being\, along with Israel\, one of the world’s two “Jewish territories”. \nThe story of Birobidzhan — its creation\, the rise and fall of the Jewish population and the Yiddish language with it (not always in tandem); its political and social history as relates to the idealistic movements of the 1st half of the 20th Century\, the Stalinist purges\, the Holocaust\, the creation of the State of Israel\, anti-Semitism\, and the collapse of the USSR; and the current situation of Jews and Yiddish culture — provides a fascinating glimpse into a unique political/social/ethnic experiment that is both a colossal failure and a surprising colossal success. \nNikolai\, aka Kolya Borodulin is a post-War native son of Birobidzhan and a product of its Yiddish schools.  His own personal history is a telling depiction of both the struggles for and pride in Jewish and Yiddish cultural identity within the USSR and post-USSR.  By training an educator and scholar\, he is at present one of the most active individuals and innovators in the world in preserving the Yiddish language. \nIn summer of 2018\, Mr. Borodulin returned to Birobidzhan for the first time in 24 years.  He encountered a much-diminished Jewish population but also the continued threads of Yiddish cultural activism\, the same ones that had given rise to streets being named after famous Yiddish writers and Yiddish schools being established at all levels of learning.  The Birobidzhaner Shtern\, the Yiddish-language newspaper initially published in 1930 to cater to newly arriving Jewish immigrants\, still publishes in Russian with two pages per week in Yiddish – the only newspaper in all of Russia with Yiddish content\, and the second only one in the world. \nIn addition to providing a historical overview of this unique region\, Mr. Borodulin’s multi-media lecture will be able to address this history from the personal perspective of one who grew up during its post-War turbulent history within a society that clung at all costs to its minority cultural heritage.  But he will also be bringing us up to date about the current status of population\, culture\, and political trends in the JAO. \nKolya Borodulin is the Master Teacher and Coordinator of Yiddish programming at Workmen’s Circle/ArbeterRing\, New York. He teaches Yiddish language and culture to multigenerational audiences nationally and internationally and is credited with giving hundreds of Yiddishists their foundation in the language. His dynamic style has garnered a growing fan base across the United States and beyond. He is the organizer of Trip to Yiddishland program ( and Yiddish programming coordinator at Klezkanada. Kolya is the author of “Yiddish Year Round – a curriculum for the young beginners” and a number of Yiddish educational materials for children. He also pilots the highly successful Workmen’s Circle online live Yiddish classes “Yidish fun der vaytns”. \nװיפֿל׃\n$18 General; $15 Members; Free FT Students\nFREE PARKING IN ADJACENT LOT (Enter 18th St.)

SUMMARY:A Celebration of Two Yiddish Bards: Mordechai Gebirtig and Chava Alberstein
DESCRIPTION:Mordechai Gebirtig (1877 – 1942) was the most popular and beloved Yiddish songwriter of the 20th Century.  His songs express the heart and soul of each person and at the same time reflect the feelings and striving of the Jewish people as a whole.  So popular were his songs that many were mistaken for folksongs.  Among them are\n\n\nReyzele (Reisl) — about  young love; \nYosl Ber — about joining the army\, and  \nUndzer Shtetl Brent (Our Town is Burning) \n\nThey are by turns tender\, pithy\,  and prescient.\nChava Alberstein is perhaps best known for being the great diva (like Joan Baez) of Israeli popular music.  But during her entire career of performing in Hebrew\, she  also performed and recorded Yiddish songs.  Her most recent forays into Yiddish were composing and arranging original music to the words of famous Yiddish poets.\n \n\nThe beautiful songs of these two outstanding artists will be performed by acclaimed singer Cindy Paley\, accompanied by Miamon Miller (violin)\, Isaac Sadigursky (accordion)\, and Zinovy Goro (clarinet).\n\n \nDON’T MISS THIS WONDERFUL MUSICAL EVENT!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n WHEN:  Sunday\, May 6\, 3 PM\n \nװוּ׃  WHERE:  Santa Monica Synagogue\, 1448 18th St. \nSanta Monica (at Broadway)\n \n\nװיפֿל׃  ADMISSION:  $18 General              $16 Members\n\n\n                   $5   \nFT Students\n\n\n \nFREE PARKING     REFRESHMENTS\n \nRSVP:  ciycl@yiddishi.org      310-745-1190\n\n \nCo-sponsored by the Santa Monica Synagogue\nSupported in part by\nRuth Ziegler Foundation\nBaran Family Foundation\nNurit & Rick Amdur\nWebstation One\nand Friends and Members of CIYCL

SUMMARY:Jewish Memory and Yiddish Heritage -- Two Takes: Elie Wiesel and I.B. Singer
DESCRIPTION:Only through memories can the present and past be bridged\, and for Eli Wiesel\, Yiddish is integral in conjuring up the past of Holocaust victims\, Jewish martyrs\, and the glorified religious life of traditional Jews. \nI.B. Singer insists likewise in his Nobel Lecture:\n“(Yiddish) was the tongue of martyrs and saints\, of dreamers and Kabbalists – rich in humor and in memories that mankind may never forget.  In a figurative way\, Yiddish is the wise and humble language of us all\, the idiom of a frightened and hopeful humanity.” \nThese two influential Jewish writers had totally different philosophies.\nDon’t miss this unique and fascinating talk by Prof. Hirose\, one of the world’s leading experts on Jewish literature and I.B. Singer in particular. \n\n\nProf. Yoshiji Hirose is Chairman of the English Dept. at Notre Dame Seishin University in Okayama\, Japan\, and the author recently of Yiddish Tradition and Innovation in Modern Jewish American Writers.  To view his 2016 talk for CIYCL on “The Unsung Japanese Hero Who Saved Thousands of Jews”\, click here. \n\n\n װו      LOCATION:\nSanta Monica Synagogue    \n1448 18th Street    Santa Monica \nװען       WHEN       \n Sunday\, August 13\,   4 – 5:30 PM \n װיפֿל    ADMISSION*:        \n$ 10  General    \n$ 8  CIYCL & SMS Members \nFree to Full-time students \nRefreshments\nFree Parking \nTO RSVP:\nciycl@yiddishi.org\n310-745-1190
