This captivating documentary offers an upbeat, witty, and timely exploration of a global community of artists who are rediscovering and revitalizing the endangered Yiddish language through their progressive and provocative creative works. Together, 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, and inspiration within Yiddish language and culture.
Post-screening discussion with Lisa Newman, Director of Publishing and Public Programs, and Caleb Sher, Senior Bibliography Fellow, at the Yiddish Book Center.
