‘Put a Yid on It!’ Festival of New Yiddish Culture
Yiddish is a warm, funny, poetic language once spoken, written, sung, and dreamt by 11 million people. Our festival honours this rich history and celebrates the New Yiddish Renaissance, a dynamic movement of artists courageously creating and recreating in the language of our ancestors.
This festival, going into its third year features a total of eight unique events featuring world-class bands, films, and speakers.
Last year, we welcomed acclaimed musicians, Schmaltz and Pepper to Yidfest. Check out the video below for a sample of the fun and folksy music that graced the Berney Theatre at the Rady JCC last year.
Which bands, speakers and films will be a part of this year’s Yidfest? Stay tuned!
