Yiddish New York

Dec 23–28, 2017
Each day, YNY will create a hub of programming at the 14th Street Y and the adjacent Town and Village Synagogue. Daily programs feature workshops by internationally-renowned performers and lectures by leading contemporary scholars.
NYC

Yiddish New York celebrates and engages with East European Jewish (and other Jewish and co-territorial) traditions to foster new creativity, building bridges across borders – a culture under construction! Drawing inspiration from the historic cultural riches of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Yiddish New York is an intergenerational gathering featuring daily workshops and a broad spectrum of performances and programming. Yiddish New York evenings feature concerts, dance parties, and jam sessions at clubs and other venues around this vibrant neighborhood.
