Welcome to Yiddishland: Dinner and a Movie

Organizer: The Vilna Shul
Ages 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s+

Welcome to Yiddishland is a snapshot of the Yiddish cultural renaissance of this moment. Featuring the leaders and tastemakers of this tradition, this film highlights the youth and vibrancy of Yiddish that has always been at the core.
Through intimate interviews and rare behind-the-scenes access to some of the world’s top musicians and performers working in Yiddish, the film showcases the innovative works of artists who use this ancient language as a vehicle for addressing contemporary issues such as Queer identity, the refugee crisis, war and authoritarianism.
Film co-producer Lisa Newman of the Yiddish Book Center will join us for a post screening conversation, where we’ll have babka treats for all.
