It was a dream come true to work as an RA at the @yiddishbookcenter.bsky.social 's Great Jewish Books high school program, which had ignited my own love for Yiddish when I participated in 2016. I met and taught incredible teens, alongside my wonderful co-RAs (pictured below)!

Moderated my first in-person book talk! It was a pleasure to discuss An American Girl Anthology: Finding Ourselves in the Pleasant Company Universe with co-editors @justineodashs.bsky.social and @kchysmith.bsky.social at @portersqbooks.bsky.social in Cambridge on Friday.

Yesterday, I took my students from my Boston Workers Circle and Lehrhaus beginner Yiddish classes to the @yiddishbookcenter.bsky.social, where I first learned Yiddish. It was a dream come true for me as a teacher! We enjoyed a great tour of the museum and the special collections vault.

This academic year, I gave various talks on feminist Yiddish culture and literature to student groups at Mount Holyoke, MIT, and Wellesley. I also spoke twice at Brandeis, once for the Reform chavurah and once for the Yiddish class. It was a pleasure to meet so many brilliant college students!

Last night, I taught the final class of my series of six beginner Yiddish language classes at Lehrhaus in Cambridge, MA. It was a lively, wonderful group!

Conducted my eighteenth Wexler Oral History interview (and third entirely in Yiddish) as a field fellow for the @yiddishbookcenter.bsky.social ! Pictured here with the fabulous Leye, a former Boston Workers Circle Yiddish teacher.
