WYNWOOD, Fla. – We could all use some mid-week motivation to get us through the rest of the week, and we’ve found just the thing. Zak The Baker will be giving away free bagels and schmear from their award-winning bakery next Tuesday, but under one circumstance — you must order in Yiddish.

Next week, Duolingo is launching its new Yiddish language course, and to celebrate, on Tuesday, April 6, they’ve teamed up with Wynwood’s Zak The Baker to treat customers to “nosh” for “bubkes” (nothing)!
