Red Yiddish is a program of Yiddishkayt's Avada Project. Avada engages Angelenos in their 20s and 30s with the history, complexity and depth of Yiddish culture through quality, experimental programming. Avada offers an alternative vision of what it means to be Jewish today. In Yiddish, the word avade means of course.
