Viskonsin!: Tales of Yiddish Wisconsin
A symposium honoring Louis Bernard Wolfenson and 100 years of Yiddish at UW-Madison
November 6, 2016
1:00pm - 4:00pm
Memorial Library, Room 126
728 State St., Madison, WI
Free and open to the public.
In 1916, the University of Wisconsin-Madison became the nation's-and possibly the world's-first institute of higher education to offer Yiddish language instruction when Professor Louis Bernard Wolfenson began teaching courses in the vernacular language of Ashkenazi Jews. With presentations by Henry Sapoznik, Mark Louden, Jonathan Pollack, Francie Saposnik and Sunny Yudkoff, the Viskonsin symposium celebrates this important centenary with reflections on the history of Yiddish at UW, the current state of Yiddish studies, and thoughts on the next 100 years.

Great Small Works revisits the work of radical 20th century New York City puppeteers Zuni Maud and Yosl Cutler. In a bilingual Yiddish-English play that uses Maud and Cutler's sexy anti-capitalist puppet scripts and original graphics, panoramic scrolls, The Dybbuk, and Mae West, “Muntergang” is a meditation on historical models for changing power relationships.

November 6, 2016, 4pm.
University of VA, Charlottesville
Old Cabell Hall

The Yellow Ticket is a live multimedia concert event featuring the eponymous 1918 Pola Negri silent film with a performance of an original score by Alicia Svigals, one of the world's foremost klezmer fiddlers. The score is the newest commission from the Foundation's New Jewish Culture Network (NJCN) and marks the first feature-length film composition by Svigals who will perform live with virtuoso pianist Marilyn Lerner at each of the screenings of this cinema classic. Set in Poland and Tsarist Russia, the film portrays a woman's struggle to overcome adversity in a story of secret identifies, heroic measures, and triumphant love.
