First Fridays is our 30-minute monthly, social justice briefing and community building event.

Between 1884 and 1954, the London Yiddish press published hundreds of feuilletons (urban sketches) by local writers concerning Yiddish immigrant life in London's East End. These short sketches range from satirical and funny to poignant and moving. They cover a variety of themes, such as war between the sexes in the home, political arguments in cafes, and torah scrolls on the streets. Some of the sketch writers were well known in the Yiddish literary community, but others were only locally popular.

In this talk, Vivi Lachs and Sheva Zucker will perform some of the feuilleton sketches and mull over their themes.
