Events and Classes

At Yiddishland California, we are proud to offer a variety of upcoming events and classes designed to celebrate Yiddish culture, history, and creativity. Our programs bring together community members of all ages to learn, share, and connect. Whether you are new to Yiddish or already fluent, there is something here for you.

One of our highlights this season is the interactive lecture with art historian Jennifer Stern, titled Rembrandt and the Jews: An Interactive Exploration. This session will take place online on Sunday, October 5, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. PT on Zoom. Participants will explore how Rembrandt depicted Jewish life in Amsterdam, and how his art offers timeless insight into history and identity.
