Adult Program: “Exploring the Bintel Brief”
Peretz Member, Debbie Silberstein will guide us through an exploration of The Bintel Brief, a “Dear Abby” collection of letters for American, Jewish, Yiddish speaking immigrants!
The translation in this collection brings to life a time gone by. We will read in small groups through a selection of the letters and responses. As the discussion evolves, you may find that the problems/answers touch you in unexpected ways and challenge some of the stereotypes etched in your mind’s eye. These letters created a 2 way conversation which became the underpinnings of a rich community of readers and continues to have meaning to us today.
10:30 AM at Rutgers Prep
