ABOUT RAD YIDDISH

Rad Yiddish is a TkarΓ³n:to/toronto-based and online meet-up of lefties who love to learn Yiddish together in a supportive environment. Programming ranges from reading circles and discussions, song workshops, holiday costume parties, games nights, to film screening watch parties, and more. We especially focus on feminist, queer, anti-racist, and other anti-oppressive and radical/lefty content.

We strive to be accessible to all levels from zero previous Yiddish experience to totally fluent. We do this by meeting in Yiddish-level specific break-out groups that are facilitated by experienced teachers and cultural organizers. Our events have CART live-captioning and trilingual English-Yiddish-ASL interpretation whenever possible.

Rad Yiddish events are always free/by-donation to keep them financially accessible. Therefore, we rely heavily on generous donations and financial support to fund our innovative Yiddish culture and heritage work.

ABOUT QUEER YIDDISH CAMP

Queer Yiddish Camp is a space for folks with various marginalized identities to have a transformative experience learning Yiddish that is accessible, affordable, reflects and celebrates the full expression of our identities, and engages with the breadth of Yiddish history, culture, and activism, which has always included trans and queer and norm-breaking ancestors.

Queer Yiddish Camp
fosters opportunities for students, teachers, scholars, artists, activists, and community members, at all points along their Yiddish journey, to become empowered to grow, and innovate within and expand upon our radical diasporic queer Yiddish traditions.

Queer Yiddish Camp is co-creating a revolutionary Yiddishland where students, teachers, scholars, artists, activists, and community members are empowered in the traditions of our radical queer diasporist ancestors to learn, teach, co-create, and revolutionize Yiddish. Our events have CART live-captioning and trilingual English-Yiddish-ASL interpretation whenever possible.

We believe in the liberatory potential of reclaiming our radical cultural traditions as a path towards decolonization and a world free from empire.
