Kind of sad about Hampshire closing. I went to UMass.
"#HampshireCollege, the nontraditional #liberalarts #school that pioneered #college-level #Holocaust classes and played a central role in launching the acclaimed #Yiddish #Book Center, announced Tuesday that it is shutter at the end of the calendar year.
The closure, which follows semester after years of financial troubles, won’t affect #YiddishBookCenter, which operates on land purchased from the college in #Amherst, #Massachusetts.
“We are saddened by #Hampshire College’s announcement,” Susan Bronson, president of the Yiddish Book Center, said in a statement. “Hampshire has been a valued neighbor for many years, and we recognize the significance of this moment for its community.”
Founded by Hampshire alum #AaronLansky in 1980 as an effort to save Yiddish-language publications from extinction, the Yiddish Book Center purchased the land for its permanent #campus space from the college in 1997."

I'm teaching this workshop here in Vancouver on May 10 with my friend Chaia if you're interested. the same songs we explained online for Workers Circle a few months ago, but this time teaching people to sing them in person.

Like a Young Doe
Like a young doe you ran off to the hills / to gather the scattered gold of summer. / Then tall grasses even wept at your feet, / and hills gulped their fill of gloom.

sadly I won't be going (don't trust ICE) but this festival in #Portland looks great.
includes some good friends of mine like Chaia, Christina Crowder, Shpilkis, and some cool artists I hadn't heard of before.

A Message from Festival Director Eric SternWe are thrilled to announce the Portland Jewish Music Festival 2026! Now in its second year, this celebration of Jewish musical traditions from throughout the diaspora and Israel will fill EJC for more than a week with top-tier artists from near and far. We are especially delighted to host one of the most famous Mizrachi musicians in the world – Yair Dalal – as a festival headliner.The Portland Jewish Music Festival was born last year when local folk music organization Bubbaville, (producer of the Portland Klezmer Festival for several years prior), passed the event’s torch to EJC as its natural home. As curator of the festival, I extended it to last a week and added Sephardic and Mizrachi music to the scope to present a broader and more inclusive vision of global Jewish artistry.. The Portland Jewish Music Festival became a multicultural event showcasing folk music from Spain, Northern Africa and Iraq, as well as Yiddish and Klezmer music.The Portland Jewish Music Festival is quickly becoming not only a tentpole of EJC and local Jewish programming, but also a highlight of the region’s cultural calendar, period. We can’t wait to share these 11 days and nights of concerts, discussions and community joy with you!CHECK OUT ALL OF THE EVENTS IN THIS COLLECTION!
