We are excited to announce the inaugural Midwest Yiddishfest, a three-day Yiddish arts and culture festival held November 14-16 across Champaign-Urbana. 

 

This regional celebration features live music, cooking and printmaking workshops, Yiddish 101, children’s story time, scholarly lectures, and more. The Midwest Yiddishfest is an intergenerational, all-ages festival, and is open to everyone, including those new to Yiddish language and culture.

 

We hope you'll join us for our many exciting events!
