Yiddish Expressions, Curses and Idioms. 

 

In this 1-hour session with Pamela Brenner, we will explore Yiddish common phrases, outrageous curses, and interesting idioms. We will uncover the richness of Yiddish dialects, practice key greetings and questions, and discover the different languages that influenced Yiddish. By the end of the session, you will walk away with a greater ability to incorporate Yiddish into your everyday conversations.

Pamela Brenner is a Yiddish translator and scholar.  She received her BA from Barnard College and her MSt from the University of Oxford, both in Yiddish studies. She is a 2021–2022 Yiddish Translation Fellow at the Yiddish Book Center.
