DrayMakhers November: Jewish Humor

Join KlezCalifornia for an hour of community culture building, hosted by Evie Groch, with topics rotating on a three-month cycle. On November 10, come prepared with five Jewish jokes or riddles to share while you enjoy others’ jokes and riddles. Be ready to participate unmasked (i.e., with your video on) and to laugh!

Definition: In a cultural community like ours, we find lots of gantze makhers, (“big shots”; gantse = complete/entire; makhers = big shots, fixers). If we sort ourselves into three specific groups that offer a mixture of laughter, appreciation of cuisine, and playtime, we come up with DrayMakhers (dray = three). What a mekhaye (pleasure/delight) to be part of the DrayMakhers! 

Next month will be conversation about Jewish food, and the following month thinking peoples’ games with Jewish themes. If you have any questions: contact coordinator Evie Groch.

To register for Wednesday, November 10, scroll down to the bottom of this page and complete the registration. Registration ends 12noon Pacific Time the day of the event. If you want to try to participate after that, write nu@klezcalifornia.org. We cannot promise to notice your email if you register after the deadline. Registering gives KlezCalifornia permission to take images and use them for educational or other organizational purposes. Because this is a social event, we expect that you will participate with your video on.

To keep you informed, we enroll registrants in our free monthly newsletter which includes klezmer and Yiddish culture events in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. You may unsubscribe at any time. KlezCalifornia does not share its email lists with other organizations.

Those who register by the deadline will receive sign-in info by 2pm Pacific Time. If you have not heard by then, write a.s.a.p. to nu@klezcalifornia.org. Please do not wait until just before the event begins to notice whether you have the sign-in info.

The event is free, however donations of any amount (whatever you can afford) are needed to enable KlezCalifornia to continue to connect you with Yiddish culture. Gifts are tax-deductible.
