The Yiddishkayt Initiative
Building Community, Membership and Participation Through Jewish Culture


Over the centuries, the term “wandering Jew” has described our migration from country to country. But today’s Jews are wandering in a different direction... away from their Jewish heritage. Reduced affiliation with Jewish institutions has many Jews still feeling Jewish at heart, but “wondering” abo

ut their history, culture and traditions. In seeking direction back to our Jewish roots, one can look to the theatre, where “Fiddler on the Roof” still plays to global standing room audiences of Jews and non-Jews alike, decades after its premiere. Performing arts, film and television, literature, comedy, art, music, language, even food – all of these elements “bake” Jewishness in as a key ingredient. Such is the powerful attraction of our very Jewishness – our Yiddishkayt – a celebration of our centuries old rich Jewish culture. And that is the impetus for a new and exciting non-profit venture on a mission to bring our precious heritage back to the forefront of Jewish life – the Yiddishkayt Initiative.

Our Story

Building Community, Membership and Participation through Jewish Culture

Yiddishkayt Initiative (YI) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that celebrates and promotes Jewish history, life, and culture and their positive and far-reaching impact on the world. From performing arts, publishing, and education to language, philosophy, and literature, YI offers a global clearinghouse of Jewish culture and entertainment. We work with a wide range of organizations, including Federations, JCCs, synagogues, Hadassah chapters, Hillel chapters, men’s groups, women’s guilds, special interest clubs, youth groups, summer camp programs, and educational institutions.

Over the centuries, the term “wandering Jew” has described our migration from country to country. But today’s Jews are wandering in a different direction… away from their Jewish heritage. What can we do to bring them back – to reignite their passion for Jewish history, life and culture?

In seeking direction back to our Jewish identity, one can look to the theatre, where “Fiddler on the Roof” still plays to global standing room audiences of Jews and non-Jews alike, decades after its premiere. Performing arts, film and television, literature, comedy, art, music, language, even food – all of these elements “bake” Jewishness in as a key ingredient.
