YSW 2025 Wrap-up
What a party!
After five weeks filled to the brim with workshops, concerts, jam sessions and countless wonderful moments, Yiddish Summer celebrated its 25th anniversary on Sunday, August 17th.
The workshops revisited the best of the annual themes since 1999, including The Other Europeans, The Other Israel, the Ottoman heritage and its Greco-Turkish-Yiddish matrix, Ukrainian-Jewish archival treasures and New Yiddish Music. Many artists closely associated with the YSW, such as Cesar Lerner and Marcelo Moguilevsky, Sasha Lurje, Susi Evans, Szilvia Csaranko, Daniel Kahn, Christian Dawid, Adam Stinga and Marin Bunea, among others, taught and played numerous concerts. As last year, we counted no less than 12,000 visitors and over 300 workshop participants from all over the world!
Great that you were there! And if it didn't work out this time - see you next time!
