Guest artists Miryam Coppersmith and Jordan Wax lead a Yiddish Zingeray (singalong). Whether learning this music for the first time or recalling old favorites, participants will come together to share in the beauty of Yiddish songs. Yiddish / singing experience not required.

Miryam Coppersmith is a Philadelphia-based performance artist and educator. Miryam has apprenticed with master Yiddish dance teacher Steven Lee Weintraub since 2019. Together, they have created several performances together and taught at the Yiddish New York festival. Miryam teaches Yiddish dance workshops and leads social dancing at concerts, Jewish holidays, simchas/celebrations, and more.

Jordan Wax is a New Mexico-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, and composer. His debut album, The Heart Deciphers, blends klezmer/lautari sounds from Moldova with American Southwest rock aesthetics. Wax creates bilingual children's programming that helps families establish positive contexts around linguistic diversity, including his upcoming release Pantakozak and Other New Yiddish Songs for Kids.

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. Event start time subject to change - please stay tuned for final schedule.
