One of our new students, YANG Meng, is making her way around the internet in a great feature by The Forward, which details her experience learning Yiddish this summer in Tel Aviv. Meng worked with one of her language instructors to translate a well known Chinese song into Yiddish.

Meng re-titled the song “Chinese Moon Over Tel Aviv” for her translation, and did a beautiful performance of the piece this past summer. We are proud to welcome Meng to our newest cohort, not just because of her musical talents, but because her dedication to bringing Holocaust education to China inspires us to keep our program great. We are glad she decided to join us, and hope that by the end of her time here with us there will be a Chinese-Yiddish song about Haifa as well!
