LimmudFest Nola 2023

This is a dispatch from 21st-century Yiddishland, a borderless country where the language lives and thrives and attracts new talents, new learners — and even new words — all the time. What is the place of Yiddish today, and how are its contemporary speakers playing with the language? We will look into new Yiddish plays, music videos, books, even memes. Mikhi, a Yiddish cultural activist and artist in New York, will present on some of his own new works, as well as those of others in this international language community. Ober genug geredt, but enough said! Come and experience it for yourself — and maybe be ready to fashion a Yiddish neologism of your own.
