Come learn with Miriam Isaacs as she talks about her current project translating the works of the beloved Yiddish comedian Shimon Dzigan.
“Dzigan used to end his television shows by paraphrasing e.e. cummings. ‘Remember,’ he would say, ‘a day without laughter is a wasted day.'” Don’t let your Saturday go to waste!
