Event Description:
Join us for a heart-opening workshop where we will explore songs and poems in solidarity with Palestine, deepening our awareness of this vital cultural dimension of the struggle. Together, we will learn and reflect on songs and poems by Palestinians, as well as new works written by Jewish songwriters in solidarity with Palestine — including many in Yiddish. Through music and poetry, we’ll engage with the histories, identities, and lived experiences carried in these traditions.
All materials will be provided in transliteration, so no prior knowledge of Arabic or Yiddish is required. Come ready to listen, learn, share, and raise your voice in a spirit of connection and solidarity.
