Lecture: Health, Community and Yiddish
Thursday December 26, 2024 9:30am - 10:45am EST
507 - Hebrew Union College
Explore how Yiddish language and culture, with their rich focus on community, mutual care, and resilience, offers unique insights into fostering holistic health across emotional, social, and physical dimensions. This presentation highlights how Yiddish linguistic and cultural traditions—especially storytelling and social interconnectedness—support individual and communal well-being, resilience, and identity continuity. By viewing health through the lens of Yiddish values, we uncover models of support that inspire healthier, more interconnected communities. Join us as we examine the deep connections between health, community, and Yiddish culture. Abi gezunt!
