Kvetch, shlepp, chutzpah, shlemiel, shlimazel – it’s that one Yiddish word when nothing else sounds quite as perfect. Whether it was eavesdropping on your grandparents, dialogue from The Nanny or the opening bars of the theme song from ‘70s sitcom Laverne & Shirley, there’s a good chance you’ve absorbed more Yiddish than you realise. Do kreplach and kneidlach float in your Yiddish word soup? Now’s the time for secret Yiddish wordsmiths to share their naches in Australia’s first Yiddish Poetica, an online open mic evening of poetry mit a Yiddishn tam/taste, proudly co-presented by Poetica, Kadimah and the Dunera Project. Hosted by Poetica’s founder Miriam Hechtman, join us as a participant or viewer for a joyful, funny and heymishe evening’s entertainment.
