Yiddish Lives in Barcelona, Spain!

CIYCL Director Miri Koral will be giving several talks on modern Yiddish poetry for Congregation Atid and its Yiddish Club (Der Meshugener Fareyn) in Barcelona, Spain in July 2010. The surprising fact of an active Yiddish-speaking enclave in the heart of historic Sefarad (the Hebrew word for Spain) will also be explored in an upcoming article in the Yiddish Forverts. (Please check back for a link to the article on the CIYCL web site.) This outreach and research project is thanks in part to support from the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies made possible by a grant from the Irene and Michael Ross Endowment Fund in Yiddish and Jewish Studies.

Check back soon for upcoming programs in the 2010-11 CIYCL Showcase of Contemporary Culture, supported by the Ruth Ziegler and the Chaim Schwartz Foundations.
