Join Sisterhood for this funny, fabulous program following our Paid-Up Membership Dinner!
Thursday, October 19 at 6:15 pm
Joyce Eisenberg & Ellen Scolnic are The Word Mavens, two ladies who know the difference between pulkes and a pushke!
The Word Mavens will entertain and engage you with their humorous, fact‑filled look at Jewish holidays, customs, foods, and more. They will share funny stories, Yiddishisms, beloved traditions and little-known facts they uncovered while writing their best-selling Dictionary of Jewish Words and their new book, The Whole Spiel: Funny essays about digital nudniks, seder selfies and chicken soup memories.
They’ll answer questions like:
- Who are the ushpizin and why are they here?
- What’s the difference between shnecken and rugelach?
- Why are there so many Yiddish words for a no-goodnik?
It’s unanimous! The Word Mavens are always a big hit!
“Everyone is still talking about how funny it was. Our members loved everything about your talk. They said it was the best program we ever had.”
– Barbara Goldstein, Sisterhood Pres., Temple Beth Tikvah, Wayne, NJ
