In May 2020, we didn’t celebrated Mother’s Day with a cliché Mother’s Day Champagne Brunch, but with a Mageyfe Khasene (plague wedding) spectacle featuring famous Yiddish artists and academics such as Michael Steinlauf, Psoy Korolenko, Yale Strom, Elizabeth Schwartz, Polina Shepherd, Mikhl Yashinsky, Alicia Svigals, Anna Rozenfeld, Lea Rosenfeld, Rafi Caplan, Amelia Gleser, and Tanja Yakovleva! We raised money to hire more Yiddishists in order to transform our small organization into a House of Yiddishland, to operate both locally in San Diego and internationally.
