Even those who know quite confidently the etymology of their own family names will find fascinating to hear the explanation of the names of many friends, acquaintances, co-workers, celebrities, etc. The four sessions will cover a brief history of Ashkenazic family names, and then an in-depth analysis of Ashkenazic patronymics, matronymics, occupational names, geographical names, nicknames, and much more, culminating in a discussion of the names of those attending the workshop. This 4-part workshop takes place from 4:20-5:30 PM on 4 consecutive days: Sunday, December 23, through Wednesday, December 26. Where? East 14 St, between 1st and 2nd avenues, exact location TBA. Single Class Passes (one class on a particular day) are available on-site for $30 at the Pupik Information Desk. All the various options (full-day pass, full-festival pass, etc.) are here: http://www.yiddishnewyork.com/registration/ We hope to see you there. _______________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
