The school draws on our extensive previous research into Contemporary Hasidic Yiddish and on the experience of native speaker teachers who grew up immersed in a a Hasidic Yiddish speaking cultural environment. Our vision is to introduce beginner and lower intermediate students to this new emergent variety of Yiddish, which is the native vernacular of up to a million people worldwide, while maintaining a continuity with Standard Yiddish language and culture.
Grammar classes in the mornings, seminars and activities in the afternoon, evening cultural events.
Native-speaker and expert teachers: Eli Benedict, Mendy Cahan, Katerina Kuznetsova, Eidel Malowicki and Kriszta Eszter Szendrői
