Mah jongg came a long way…from China with the Jewish people to the US. This seminar will enlighten you about how that journey came about, what the Mahjong characters (AKA kraks), bamboos (AKA bams), and dots represent and the difference between Mah jongg and mahjong. Yvonne Wolf also explains the history, cultural symbols, Chinese expressions, and cultural evolution of the internationally popular Chinese game of mahjong.
