Bloomsday in Yiddish

We have long wanted to do more Yiddish translations of Ulysses, ever since our popular scene in Yiddish between Mrs. Breen and Mr. Bloom debuted 16 years ago.  Sixteen years, my God, as Molly would say.  This year we have two excellent new translations from Shane Baker and Zackary Sholem Berger.  Shane translates and performs Bloom's lunch from Lestrygonians and Zackary translates the last two pages of the novel, Molly Bloom's monologue, performed by Caraid O'Brien.  Watch below!  More videos will be posted here this evening.
