Yiddishkayt’s Mission
Yiddishkayt is the premier Yiddish cultural and educational center in Los Angeles, presenting a millennium of European Jewish life to new generations — creatively and inclusively and outside the confines of academic and religious institutions.
Making the Past Present
Our newest initiative, the helix project, creates the next generation of scholars of Jewish culture, who go far beyond the traditional stories of Jews in Europe to bring an expanded vision of art, music, and literature back to their communities at home, at school, and throughout the world.
Support Yiddishkayt
Yiddishkayt ensures that the precious thousand-year legacy of Yiddish continues to be shared, enjoyed, and cherished now and for generations to come! But we depend on your support to bring our innovative brand of programs to you and to new audiences.
