In Celebration of the League for Yiddish’ newest student reader
Afn veg: Zibn dertseylungen fun Y-.L. Perets
(Pathways: Seven Stories by I. L. Peretz)
please join us for a Zoom conversation with
Moishele (Mario) Alfonso
who abridged and adapted the stories.
This innovative reader offers students access to classic Yiddish stories, complete with side-by-side glossaries, discussion questions, and full audio recordings.
In this interview, we’ll hear about the process of creating the book and also enjoy selected readings.
Moishele (Mario) Alfonso has been a Yiddish teacher at the Yiddish Book Center since 2019.. In 2022, he transcribed a Yiddish edition of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Sonim: Di geshikhte fun a libe (Enemies: A Love Story), originally serialized in the Forverts in 1966. This edition, published by Olniansky Tekst Farlag, is the first time Sonim appeared in book form in the original Yiddish.
