Welcome to Yiddishland – a place with no borders where progressive artists create provocative new works in an ancient endangered language that speaks to our times
WELCOME TO YIDDISHLAND offers an upbeat, witty and timely exploration of a global community of artists who are rediscovering and revitalising the endangered Yiddish language through their progressive and provocative creative works. As we travel through Yiddishland – not a homeland but a heartland without borders - we journey across continents, from Melbourne to Berlin, New York to Haifa to meet the diverse array of individuals who find solace, identity & inspiration within Yiddish language and culture.
