Traveling Talks

We are excited to share that our journey across the United States continues as we give free lectures on Yiddish language, Yiddish culture, and Yiddishland(s). Our mission is to preserve and promote Yiddish heritage through engaging educational programs, cultural events, and artistic performances. We’re thrilled by the warm reception and enthusiasm we’ve encountered so far and are eager to connect with more communities along the way.

What was and what is Yiddishland?

?װאָס איז געװען און װאָס איז ייִדישלאַנד

Yiddish language and culture are seemingly unquenchable springs of inspiration for the analytical and the creative mind. Contemporary artists are able to draw from these multifaceted texts, images, and memories to create meaningful art today. Jana Mazurkiewicz Meisarosh – the founder of the Yiddish Arts and Academics Association of North America (YAAANA) – will take you through a brief history of Yiddish, Yiddishland, and the imperative of its legacy for imagining a sustainable creative community.

Next session coming up on Monday February 24, at 6:00 p.m. Central European Time (9:00 a.m. PT, 11:00 a.m. CT, 12:00 p.m. ET) at American Space Valencia and online on Zoom. Click here for more information and registration.

We are looking forward to giving more presentations in Santa Fe, New Mexico on April 25 and in Tucson, Arizona on April 27, traveling from there back to Mexico, and wherever else there is yinterest in our work. If you know of any communities to yiddishize, do let us hear from you!
