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.

It’s our birthday and we’re still celebrating!
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news.
This week we celebrate 129 years of the Forward. We’re proud of our origins as a Yiddish print publication serving Jewish immigrants. And we’re just as proud of what we’ve become today: A trusted source of Jewish news and opinion, available digitally to anyone in the world without paywalls or subscriptions.
We’ve helped five generations of American Jews make sense of the news and the world around them — and we aren’t slowing down any time soon.
As a nonprofit newsroom, reader donations make it possible for us to do this work. Support independent, agenda-free Jewish journalism and our board will match your gift in honor of our birthday!
