Yiddish poetry returns to the image of night over and over again, treating it as a gateway to increased powers of the imagination, apprehending magic and bewitching spirits, as well as lawlessness that finds cover in the dark. "Night" will be a participatory poetry reading and discussion of poems by Arn Zeitlin, Melekh Ravitch, and other Yiddish poets, as well as quotes about night from Torah and midrash. Come join Der Nister teacher Malke Morrell and others amid the bookshelves of Der Nister at 4 pm on Sunday, January 18 to explore this obscure and fascinating topic.
