*Dive into an explosive mixture of
songs from the Steppes and the Shtetl.
*Add extra flavour with spices from a Tatar Bazaar, and wash them down with an Odessa fisherman’s tune:
Russian traditional and art songs in harmonies, Yiddish folklore and popular songs, the powerful and the profound and wordless songs.
* Tune up your whole body and mind with your voice in full.
* Develop new ways for your voice to flow free, inspiring, and exciting.
The course will also include a meditative sound bath, some fun folk rituals and simple circle dances. We will look into connecting with other cultures through singing, learn new repertoire and style and enjoy the depth and beauty of singing together. Open to all.

Polina’s teaching utilises a rich combination of her two blood cultures learnt at source. She uses vocal experimentation with particular attention to the personal and emotional aspects of our musical creativity. Each group is different, so the songs we learn, the pace and the energy of the week will be very fluid and dependant on who we have. The course is very interactive and flexible. We can go into history and culture of the music and we can work with voices and bodies, the songs can be short and easy to learn or complex and challenging. Usually, there is a bit of everything!
Anyone can join and there will be benefits for professional singers, experienced choristers as well as for those who consider themselves home singers or have never sung in their lives. Willingness to explore is, however, essential.
“Excellent. Dynamic, knowledgeable, extremely musical…”

Seders express the hope for a better future and freedom from oppression for all.
Our Seder will again be led by Rabbi Janet Darley.
We are delighted to announce that

Maxine Peake and
Peter Beinart

will be giving readings this year. There will be contributions from Palestinians and Israelis and we will be announcing the names of more contributors shortly.

Andrew Feinstein – Former South African MP
Rawand Arqawi – director of the Fragments theatre in Jenin
Professor Stephan Feuchtwang

Musical contributions from:

The Brighton and Hove Yiddish Choir
Rachel Weston
Daniel Kahn

We have prepared a Liberation Haggadah, the readings we use for a Seder. This will include details of the food we eat at the Seder table and how to prepare these special dishes. We hope you will prepare some of them so you can be fully involved; none are difficult.
An important aim of our Seder is to raise money for the work of the British Shalom-Salaam Trust and we hope you will make a donation

Sussex University Yiddish Singing workshops. Sing for a Better World
2022-04-25 17:30 - 19:30 UTC
Book here
In collaboration with University of Sussex Students’ Union, with support from The University of Sussex Chaplaincy.
Join a series of three Yiddish singing workshops and help build a choir performance in Refugee Week 2022
Come to the first two-hour workshop from 5.30 to 7.30pm on Monday 25th April 2022, to be held in the Meeting House chapel at the University of Sussex campus. Also probably 25 May and 22 June – Dates and times of the second and third workshops to be confirmed.
ALL WELCOME. Advance booking essential
All workshop participants will be invited to take part in the Refugee Week performance at Brighton Jubilee Library on 25th June 2022.
No previous singing experience or knowledge of Yiddish required.
According to University of London academic Lily Kahn, Yiddish was spoken by 11 to 13 million people at the start of the Second World War. It is a stateless language, a fusion of old German, Hebrew-Aramaic and Slavic languages. Secular Yiddish culture thrived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yiddish songs have been a central part of the Klezmer music revival since the 1980s. Their diverse range, combining joy, humour, romance, resignation, hope and struggle, includes important resources for these troubled times that are highly relevant to the themes of Refugee Week. For example, Yiddish songs formed resistance anthems for Jews facing pogroms in Tsarist Russia, and young newly arrived US immigrants exploited in New York’s garment industry. Some of the best known Yiddish songs were composed in opposition to fascism in the Nazi ghettoes of the Second World War.
Led by Brighton-based Russian/ Jewish composer, performer and choir director Polina Shepherd. Song sheets will be provided.
Dates and times of the second and third workshops to be confirmed.
Suggested fee: £4
Solidarity fee: £7

According to University of London academic Lily Kahn, Yiddish was spoken by 11 to 13 million people at the start of the Second World War. It is a stateless language, a fusion of old German, Hebrew-Aramaic and Slavic languages. Secular Yiddish culture thrived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yiddish songs have been a central part of the Klezmer music revival since the 1980s. Their diverse range, combining joy, humour, romance, resignation, hope and struggle, includes important resources for these troubled times that are highly relevant to the themes of Refugee Week. For example, Yiddish songs formed resistance anthems for Jews facing pogroms in Tsarist Russia, and young newly arrived US immigrants exploited in New York’s garment industry. Some of the best known Yiddish songs were composed in opposition to fascism in the Nazi ghettoes of the Second World War.
Led by Brighton-based Russian/ Jewish composer, performer and choir director Polina Shepherd. Song sheets will be provided.
