Yiddish Club Opens in Ashkelon

For several years, initiated by the local Yiddishists and supported by the town’s administration, Ashkelon has hosted an annual festival of Yiddish songs known throughout Israel. On February  8, this seaside town hosted the grand opening of the local Yiddish Lovers’ Club. Its organizers hope to make the cultural life in Ashkelon, as well as the Yiddish cultural scene in general, more intense and diverse.
