About
Back in Europe, Yiddish-speaking Jews traditionally marked Christmas Eve with feasting, drinking, dancing, and gambling. Jordan Chad speaks about Christmas in Yiddish tradition for YIVO.
From the organizer
Join YIVO for a very Jewish Christmas celebration featuring a talk by Chad uncovering the story of how Christmas once flourished in a language exclusive to non-Christians—and how modern Jews and Christians ultimately came to forget about the time when they celebrated Christmas in tandem. A kosher Chinese food dinner will follow the presentation.
