"What makes a nation? One of the things that make a nation is the language... [Yiddish] was our secret language, so to speak. It's part of the chain - le'dor va'dor..." -Bracha Shiskal. Listen to Bracha as she recounts the experience of growing up at the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal during its Jewish heyday, reflects on her decades-long career as a Yiddish teacher at the Jewish Peoples and Peretz School, and ponders the future of Jewish life in North America and the place of Yiddish language within it.
