SUMMARY:“Serkele”: A Peek into the World of 1820s Polish Jewry
DESCRIPTION:Considered a pioneering work and a classic of Yiddish theater\, this satirical play was written by the talented Dr Ettinger in his twenties\, in 1820s.\n\n\n\nIt is almost a miracle that a decent copy of the text survived\, and we are very lucky to have it — because it preserved for posterity a bright palette of everyday Polish Yiddish of the early 19th century. Carefully exploring and savoring every phrase and sentence of this important oeuvre will also help us get a better feel of life and mentality of the “hostages of the Pale” of that period.\nThis offering is suitable for the intermediate speakers of Yiddish. \nDays and times will be adjusted to accommodate the majority of interested. \nWhen: Sundays\, July 27 – October 12  : 10 – 11 a.m. PT / 12 – 1 p.m. CT / 1 – 2 p.m. ET / 6 – 7 p.m. UK / 7 – 8 p.m. Central Europe \nWhere: Online via Zoom \nCost: $160 ( 12 Classes ) \nLed by: David Shafir \nDavid Shafir is a life-long student of Yiddish. Having spent many years among the native speakers of Yiddish in Canada and USA has helped him a lot in better understanding the language and its culture. He loves collaborating on new Yiddish-focused projects.

SUMMARY:Rembrandt and the Jews: An Interactive Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was one of a tiny handful of artists of the pre-modern era who depicted contemporary Jews. Why was he so interested in Amsterdam’s Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish communities? What attitudes do his images reveal? Art historian Jennifer Stern will present selected paintings and etchings to suggest answers to these questions in view of Rembrandt’s life and the history of Amsterdam’s Jewish community. Jennifer will also discuss how Jews (and non-Jews) have reacted to Rembrandt’s Jewish imagery over the centuries. Participants are encouraged to ask questions in the Q&A session in the last part of the program. \nWhen: Sunday\, October 5\, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT ( 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT\, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET\, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the UK\, 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. in Central Europe). \nWhere: on Zoom \nCost: \nEarly bird: $18 (if registered before Saturday\, September 20\, 2025) \nRegular admission: $25 \nInstructor: Jennifer Stern \nJennifer Stern is an art historian and Yiddish enthusiast. She began studying Yiddish in 2018. Her articles about Jewish art and life have been published in The Forward and In Geveb. Her original Yiddish poetry has been published in Grine Medine and Afn Shvel. She loves sharing her passion for Yiddish and the beauties of Jewish culture.
