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.
