The Congress for Jewish Culture was founded in 1948 as an umbrella organization serving a dozen other Jewish groups of varied political and cultural stripes. Our goal is to promote Yiddish language and culture; to foster all aspects of Yiddish creativity; and to respond to the Yiddish cultural and educational needs of the American as well as international communities. The Congress attempts to achieve these objectives through a varied program of activities, such as concerts, publications, and art exhibits.

Our ongoing activities include, but are not limited to:

Publication of the world's oldest Yiddish literary journal, the semiannual Di Tsukunft (The Future)
Publication of new works in Yiddish or Yiddish/English
Monthly coffee houses celebrating Yiddish folksong and poetry with master performers from around the world.

 

We are located at the Atran Center for Jewish Culture
