An Evening of Yiddish Drinking Songs

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

With a drink in hand and a melody in heart, we'll visit some of the greatest Yiddish drinking songs: odes to wine, cider, vodka, and of course...beer. "Tomorrow isn’t here yet. All we have is today, So why ruin it by worrying? Grab a drink While you’re still among the living. Because in the afterlife, If God so wills, they may not give you any!"

Taught by Rabbi Jessica Kate Meyer, Rosh Tefillah and Artist-in-Residence at Hebrew College in Newton.

This class is part of the Lehrhaus Oktoberfest celebrations and is generously sponsored by the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany Boston.
