Join journalist and scholar Rokhl Kafrissen to learn about feldmestn and kayver-oves, as well as other beliefs and customs related to rosh khoydesh (the new Hebrew month) and the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe). What did these customs and practices look like? How have they been adapted and reinvented for our modern life? How can Yiddish folklore and folk magic speak to the modern world?
