My deep love of Teaching and Learning comes through in my Youtube Channels and my commitment to developing learning resources for Adults (like myself) learning Yiddish, not only a language for Jews. Yiddish is a container for a deeper essence of unconditional love and connection to something greater than the self. Built by Jews who suffered and regained stability many times over, and who never lost their deep respect for life and a treasuring love of it. People do not need necessarily to learn Yiddish, they can feel the love in the sounds and the people who are devoted to the language and its culture. No one needs to already belong, to fall in love with Yiddish. It is not just a language it is a portal from the past which can lift you and assist you into a better future.
This is a web page you can bookmark and return to. Here you will find all the resources I am creating for Adult Yiddish Learners.
Have a browse, and enjoy!

My songs all have Lyrics pages which are available for free (umzist). You can read them online, and download the PDF. You will find (from right to left) the Yiddish, then moving to the left, the transliteration, then on the left the direct translation.
Feel free to use these songs to study. Or suggest them to your teacher as a fun activity for your classroom.
