The Kol Shalom Yiddish Group had its start in March, 1998, led by our wonderful, dedicated Yiddish speaker and teacher, Selma, and has been meeting once a month since then! It's been a delightful, educational four years of freylach (joy, pleasure), sometimes speaking a zerbrochene (broken) Yiddish, having a gut gelechter (good laugh) many times during a meeting, singing Yiddish songs, and becoming a close-knit group of chaverim (friends, comrades). With Selma's encouragement and good-humored nudging (nagging), the Yiddish group accepted the challenge of translating our studies into a theatrical production in Yiddish in honor of one of the richest contributions of Jewish secular-humanistic culture, the brilliant Yiddish theater of 19th and 20th century Eastern Europe and the United States.
