The New York Yiddish Language Meetup Group
|
This monthly meetup is for enjoying and relearning this fun, expressive language at all our various levels and dialects. Chat about books, music, movies, theater, culture, travel, about Yiddish and yiddishkeit as we experienced it or not, whatever. Those who know help those who don't - yet. Ayb du vilst red'n Yiddish, kum tsu unzerer Meetup, und du velst zeyn tsufridden! Come to speak it, hear it, and enjoy yourself. All this mostly on Sunday afternoons, usually the third or fourth Sunday of every month. We shoot for kosher locales to suit everyone's dietary needs. Manhattan for convenience.
