California Yiddish - Art of Yiddish

http://www.yiddishinstitute.org ciycl

The California Institute for Yiddish Culture & Language (CIYCL) has since 1999 been challenging the fog of lost and traumatic memory and ignorance about Yiddish culture.  CIYCL illuminates a vast legacy that is at the brink of expiring.  This unique legacy cannot be replicated and needs to be safeguarded and revitalized.  Through over 25 years of seminal projects and programming, CIYCL serves the local and international Jewish community as well as those fascinated by a wise and rich culture full of continuing creativity and humor.  Our motto is “preservation through innovation.”

CIYCL is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
