with Miriam Camerini

Theater director, performer and Jewish scholar Miriam Camerini returns to lead us again on a breathtaking journey into the very basics of Jewish religious rituals, texts and practice. We will delve into fundamental Jewish texts, such as the Bible and Talmud; experience the meaning of Shabbat as a day of non-creation; and learn about essential cultural practices, including food!

For the first time, this year’s workshop will include an immersion into contemporary Israeli, European and American TV shows, which we’ll use to explore specific contemporary Jewish issues, such as the role of women, interfaith marriage, and relationships with non-Jewish communities in general. For those taking other workshops, this is also a great opportunity to learn some of the Jewish and related words, concepts and expressions that will come up during the song workshops and in many other situations at Yiddish Summer Weimar.
