Connect to Radical Yiddish Lineages

Presenting through a queer, feminist, anti-racist, disability justice lens, Rad Yiddish focuses on radical/lefty and anti-oppressive content and lineages in poetry, short stories, songs, film, newspaper articles, visual art, and other artistic modes to form useable pasts along the goldene keyt (golden chain) in the traditions of our radical diasporist ancestors.

Offer Accessible Yiddish Learning

Rad Yiddish is a Tkarón:to /toronto-based and online meet-up for those who love to learn Yiddish in a supportive environment, accessible to all levels from zero previous Yiddish experience to totally fluent.  Our programs range from reading circles and discussions, song workshops, Yiddish conversation practice groups, holiday costume parties, games nights, film screening watch parties, and more, facilitated by experienced teachers and cultural organizers. Rad Yiddish events have CART live-captioning and trilingual English-Yiddish-ASL interpretation when requested, whenever possible.

Build Values-Aligned Community

Rad Yiddish is co-creating a liberatory Yiddishland where participants, facilitators, teachers, students, artists, activists, and community members are empowered to learn, teach, co-create and revolutionize Yiddish. We believe in the transformative potential of reclaiming our radical cultural traditions as a path towards decolonization and a world free from empire.
