YiddishPOP is a free, online language program built around short, animated videos that make learning Yiddish fun, visual, and accessible for all ages. Whether you have just a few minutes, want to integrate Yiddish learning into an existing class, or run an afterschool program, the materials are flexible, engaging, and easy to adapt to your setting. Veteran Yiddish teacher and YiddishPOP co-creator Brukhe Lang will share her experience from a recent YiddishPOP pilot for the 3rd grade at a Baltimore day school, and demonstrate the platform by teaching you some Yiddish! You’ll leave the session with practical ideas and inspiration for bringing Yiddish into your own classroom.
