About Us

Yiddish Lives is an archive of events experienced and described in Yiddish. It is both Biography and Language Preservation. Along the way, we include the songs, lessons, jokes, and other fun stuff that makes these lives of ours worth recording.

Do you know of anyone who would want to share their lives with us in Yiddish, songs they grew up with, stories of the Old Country and the New Land? Let us know at info@YiddishLives.com.

We are a community of enthusiasts. Want to help? Mayvins are extremely welcome regardless of Yiddish ability! We need folks across the globe to record our people. If you have access to a video camera and would be interested in filming Yiddish speakers in your area, please send an email to info@YiddishLives.com.
