Komets-alef: o! Back to School at the Yiddish Kheyder

This exhibition, created by Miriam Borden, offers a fun and fresh take on the traditional kheyder of old. The exhibition invites you to explore some of the basic skills you will need to engage with Yiddish: how to read it, how to write it, how to speak it, and how to identify what it looks and sounds like.
