A lively and witty documentaryWelcome to Yiddishland follows a new generation of artists bringing fresh life to the nearly-lost Yiddish language. From a bold Yiddish staging of Yentl in Melbourne to punk-Klezmer bands and trailblazing theatre in Berlin, the film reveals a vibrant global movement. Though many of these creators didn’t grow up speaking Yiddish, they’ve embraced its culture as a source of identity, inspiration, and joy—proving that this once-endangered language is alive and thriving.

JUST ADDED! Optional post-film deli supper.

Then join us at the Santa Fe Jewish Center for a post-film deli supper and live Klezmer music with Jordan Wax!
