YUNG YiDiSH WIEN

Tapping into an age-old Viennese tradition, and working with local and international artists and scholars, we create a secular, cultural space providing a home for progressive Jewish culture amidst a room full of old Yiddish books in the heart of Leopoldstadt.

YUNG YiDiSH
Tel Aviv

YUNG YiDiSH WIEN is the first international filiale of the YUNG YiDiSH Library and Cultural Centre in Tel Aviv, founded and directed by Mendy Cahan. YUNG YiDiSH has been running a rich cultural program, keeping Yiddish language and culture alive in Israel for over thirty years.


In the unlikely location of the Main Bus Station of Tel Aviv, over sixty thousand books, collected painstakingly one by one, sit on shelves and inside boxes, bearing witness to a rich world of Eastern European Yiddish culture.
