Fans of Yiddish and erotic poetry will gather at CYCO to hear selected poems from Troim Katz Handler’s new collection, entitled “Simkhe”.
The book launch party, which will take place on Monday, January 27th, will include readings and discussions in Yiddish and English. The program is being organized by Shoshke-Rayzl Juni, who edited the collection and Hy Wolfe, CYCO’s director and will begin at 7PM.
Refreshments will be served.
For more information on the program, write to the organizers at [email protected].
Besides the book launch itself, CYCO will be open starting at 5PM for those who wish to browse and purchase Yiddish books.
CYCO, New York’s venerable non-Haredi Yiddish bookstore, is located in Long Island City (02-51 21st street, 7th floor). CYCO’s catalogue can be accessed online here.
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
