Sacred Time and Liminal Space: Ashkenazi Folk Magic at the Threshold

Hosted By: Yiddish Book Center (Amherst, MA)

The Yiddish Book Center will host a six-part online course on Ashkenazi folk magic, taught by journalist and scholar Rokhl Kafrissen. The course will explore Yiddish folk customs such as feldmestn (measuring a cemetery to make special holiday candles) and tkhines (personal, vernacular prayers), within the context of rosh khoydesh (the new Hebrew month) and the yomim-neroim (Days of Awe). Participants will also learn how these rituals have been reinvented for the modern world.
