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.

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
