The Book Rescuer: How a Mensch from Massachusetts Saved Yiddish Literature for Generations to Come

Join us for a reading of The Book Rescuer: How a Mensch from Massachusetts Saved Yiddish Literature for Generations to Come, followed by a brief hands-on examination of early 20th century Yiddish children’s illustrated books. Families are then invited to explore the Center’s new exhibition, Yiddish: A Global Culture, with a family guide featuring the Center’s mascot, Tsiggy the Goat. Kids can search for exhibit highlights and add stickers to their guides as they explore. Programs are presented free on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. This event is being presented as part of the 2024 Mass Kids Literature Festival.
