What We Do

Through Our Project, Yiddishland California provides:

  • Language Classes — courses in Yiddish, Ladino, and Hebrew for beginners to advanced learners

  • Cultural Events — concerts, theater, lectures, and holiday celebrations

  • Art Exhibits — showcasing both traditional Yiddish artists and contemporary creators

  • Community Programs — volunteering, internships, and cultural exchange opportunities

Why Our Project Matters

Yiddish is more than just a language — it is a bridge to history, memory, and identity. Our Project preserves stories, songs, and traditions that might otherwise be lost, while also making them accessible to modern learners and audiences worldwide.
