Noah Barrera

Noah Barrera has become a serious activist
on the Yiddish scene in New York City, where he has been a
writer for Yiddish publications, worked in three Yiddish
theaters, taught Yiddish language classes, and given talks in
Yiddish. Our interview took place last August at the
Yidish-Vokh, the week-long Yiddish retreat held each summer
and sponsored by Yugntruf - Youth for Yiddish
(https://yugntruf.org). Barrera was able to attend the
Yidish-Vokh thanks to his successful "gofundme" campaign
(see: https://www.gofundme.com/Noyekh-YidishVokh), and there
he taught a workshop on Yiddish sex vocabulary based on his
research in the archives of the YIVO Institute.
