After a successful first year, we are proud to announce this year’s program (December 24-29, 2016, in New York City), which is designed to provide an immersive experience in the culture. We offer programs led by over 60 leading scholars and performers covering a diverse range of Yiddish arts as well as Yiddish folklore, history and language. Speakers include New York Times bestselling author Michael Wex (Born to Kvetch), Itzik Gottesman (University of Texas, Austin), Ken Frieden (Syracuse), Miriam Isaacs (Maryland), poet Irena Klepfisz, and Kolya Borodulin (the Workmen’s Circle). Included in this year’s program is wide variety of multimedia showcases, including theater, visual art, film series, and other active cultural events. Our musicians this year are some of Yiddish music’s greats, including Grammy-winning trumpeter Frank London (The Klezmatics), clarinetist Michael Winograd, Yiddish singers Daniel Kahn, Josh Waletzky and Joanne Borts and violinist Deborah Strauss, who, in addition to providing instrument instruction, will perform throughout the week.<br /> <br />I would like to cordially extend an invitation to students involved in your institution’s Jewish Studies Department to attend Yiddish New York on December 24-29, 2016. So that we can invite as many as possible, we ask that you forward this communication to the Jewish Studies department’s website/events page in order for further exposure for anyone interested investigating the traditions New York City’s Yiddish heritage, active culture and extensive history.<br /> <br />To encourage a large turnout this year, we will be offering special pricing opportunities.
