Yiddish Classes in (or online from) the Bay Area, Yiddish Classes Online
Workers Circle/Arbeter Ring of Northern California (WC/AR of No. CA) offers free, biweekly online Yiddish classes with instructor Marianne Tatom (Mirl) in Fall 2025. There are two levels of classes: Beginners and Intermediate. Both classes include reading, writing and speaking. You must know the Yiddish alphabet (alef-beys) for both classes.
Regular classes resume Friday, January 16, 2026 and continue every other Friday through May 8; after that, the schedule will be less regular, continuing on May 15 and 29, and ending on June 5 (due to other Yiddish activities and commitments). Specifically, class dates will be: 1/16, 1/30, 2/13, 2/27, 3/13, 3/27, 4/10, 4/24, 5/8, 5/15, 5/29, and 6/5.
Class times are: Beginners 1:00 pm – 2:30pm Pacific Time, and Intermediate 3:00 – 4:30pm Pacific Time.
This is the second semester of our free Yiddish class term, so if you are joining the Beginners class, please review the first four chapters of Sheva Zucker’s Yiddish: An Introduction to the language, literature and culture. The book is available at the San Francisco Public Library and is available to purchase online.
New students: To request an assessment of your level and to register, please contact the instructor, Marianne Tatom (Mirl), marianne.tatom@gmail.com.
