We are excited to announce that YAAANA’s first Mame Loshn Festival of Female Creativity in Yiddish starts this Sunday, July 19th, and continues until Tuesday, August 4th. The festival program includes six Zoom events in Yiddish and six Zoom events in English. The festival features renowned local and international Yiddish scholars and artists such as Cindy Paley, Kathi Diamant, Amelia Glaser, Sheva Zucker, Deborah Hertz, Yale Strom, and Elizabeth Schwartz.

We are still looking for volunteers and interns for the festival – if you have a strong “yinterest” in Yiddish language and culture, become a part of YAAANA’s mishpokhe! Since our organization is growing and we still do not have enough staff to accommodate that growth, we need remote helpers who can assist with promoting our festival events, sending and responding to emails, making phone calls, etc. In return, we will invite you to attend YAAANA classes, events, and festivals for free and will give you unlimited access to our class and event archives.
We are also creating new paid positions for Yiddish educators, including those who can teach Yiddish in different languages such as Spanish, Polish, or Hebrew. Please send all inquiries to info@yaaana.com or call 619-719-1776.
We are also happy to announce that we have enough interest in our Yiddish classes for kids so the Sunday class series with Yuri Vedenyapin will continue:
