Looking for an event that’s inspiring, informative or just plain fun? Check out our fast-growing Yiddish Community Calendar to see what’s going on in Yiddishland.

The calendar includes both in-person and online events, both Yiddish and English. You’ll see lectures, concerts, chat groups, exhibit tours and dramatic readings.

This Sunday, May 7, for example, there’s going to be a lecture about the origins of Ashkenazi family names and a meeting of a Zoom Yiddish chat group hosted by the Paris Yiddish Center.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask you to support the Forward’s award-winning journalism during our High Holiday Monthly Donor Drive.

This year, we have stood together in strength and sorrow. Our Forward team has worked around the clock to help you find clarity amid the chaos.

If you’ve turned to the Forward in the past 12 months to better understand the world around you, we hope you will support us with a gift now. Your support has a direct impact, giving us the resources we need to report from Israel and around the U.S., across college campuses, and wherever there is news of importance to American Jews.

Make a monthly or one-time gift and support Jewish journalism throughout 5785. The first six months of your monthly gift will be matched for twice the investment in independent Jewish journalism.
