Yiddish in Berlin

The 4th Summer Program for Yiddish Language and Literature in Berlin is being held at the Free University of Berlin from August 12 to 30, 2024. The pedagogical team under the direction of Prof. Yitskhok Niborski offers intensive language courses, lectures, film screenings and various workshops.

At the same time, Yiddish.Berlin, an informal group of artists, scholars and activists dedicated to Yiddish, celebrate its 5th anniversary. As one of its recent activities related to this celebration, from August 15 to August 28, the group is presenting the exhibit NATO in Yiddishland by Yevgeniy Fiks, which satirizes the dangerous pathos of fervent nationalism and militarism. The exhibit’s organizers believe this pathos has no place in Yiddisland — the virtual and extraterritorial country of Yiddish.
