Free Yiddish classes, presented by Workers Circle of Northern California
Yiddish Classes in (or online from) the Bay Area, Yiddish Classes Online
Workers Circle/Arbeter Ring of Northern California is offering free, biweekly online Yiddish classes with instructor Marianne Tatom (Mirl) in Fall 2025. There are two levels of classes: Beginners and Intermediate. You must know the Yiddish alphabet (alef-beys) for both classes.
Regular classes resume Friday, September 12, 2025 and continue every other Friday through December 19. Class times are: Beginners 1-2:30pm Pacific Time (PT), and Intermediate 3-4:30pm PT. Classes include reading, writing and speaking. Knowledge of the Yiddish alphabet is still required; you may request links to alphabet learning resources from the teacher
The students in the Beginners class have been attending for some time, but the class will now be open to new students, that is to say, people who may not have any prior Yiddish. Current beginners are welcome to continue in the class or try out the Intermediate class.
New students should purchase Sheva Zucker’s volume 1 Yiddish textbook. If you cannot find the book at an affordable rate, let her know. You can also request it from your library.
New students, to request an assessment of your level and to register, please contact the instructor, Marianne Tatom (Mirl)
