Decade of Discovery: Yiddish and Social Justice
The Decade of Discovery is an initiative launched by the Yiddish Book Center to mark our 40th anniversary in 2020. Its aim is to foster a deeper understanding of Yiddish and modern Jewish culture. For each of the ensuing years, the Center will select an annual theme around which we will curate and share content and collaborate with other organizations.
Our focus for 2021 is Yiddish and Social Justice, and we invite you to join us for the wide range of virtual public programs and curated content we will be offering around this theme.
The Yiddish Book Center's Decade of Discovery is made possible in part by a grant from the Leona and Ralph W. Kern Foundation.
Decade of Discovery: Read / Listen / Watch
In honor of our Decade of Discovery theme for 2021, "Yiddish and Social Justice," we're featuring items from our collections that highlight the way that those in the Yiddish world engaged with social justice issues in their lives and work.
