Yiddish has been interwoven into Ashkenazi Jewish life for centuries. University of Arizona Professor Dr. Gil Ribak will provide an overview of the history and structure of the Yiddish, discuss the interplay between Yiddish and the rabbinic canon, and provide examples of its inherent humor and wit.

Presented with support of ASU Jewish Studies.

This event is part of the 2025 Phoenix Yiddish Culture Festival, made possible by the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture and ASU Jewish Studies.
