Alef-Beys for Yiddish and Ashkenazi Hebrew with Sasha Berenstein: Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00 – 7:30 PM: July 1, 3, 8, 10, 22
Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00 – 7:30 PM: July 1, 3, 8, 10, 22
Course Description: The Ashkenazi dialect of Hebrew has been less and less commonly heard in mainstream Jewish spheres, replaced largely by modern Israeli Hebrew. And yet, for many of us in the diaspora, this was the primary dialect used in both prayer and vernacular use by our ancestors going back generations!
Have you been wanting to learn Yiddish but were intimidated by the script, or have already been learning Yiddish but are confused and frustrated about how to read words from loshn-koydesh? Have you been interested in davening/leyning Torah like your ancestors did in the shtetl? Have you been wondering why some folks say "shabbat" and others say "shabbos''? Nu, then this is the class for you!
This class will be taught in the style of "Old Country Kheyder" in English and is open to students of all levels of Hebrew/Yiddish proficiency (including/especially complete beginners!)
