Program Description

Event Details

Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries and The Yiddish Book Center are proud to bring “Coming to America: Reading Groups for Public Libraries” to White Salmon Valley Community Library. Offered as a hybrid program with the option to attend in-person or online, this series will include three books, looking at the immigrant experience from Yiddish communities before, during, and after WWII. Each month we will use a specific book as a springboard into a broader conversation of immigration to America from across the globe and over time.

Registration is required. A copy of the book will be available for pickup at your local library branch upon registration. Don't forget to include your home library when registering.

Programs sponsored by a generous grant from The Yiddish Book Center.

April 10: Tevye the Dairyman and Motl the Cantor’s Son by Sholem Aleichem

May 1:  A Jewish Refugee by Kady Molodovsky
