CENTER FOR YIDDISH CULTURE
At the Center for Yiddish Culture of the Jewish Theater, we focus on the language and culture of Ashkenazi Jews. Our mission is to promote Yiddish culture, both its historical heritage and contemporary manifestations.
Projects
Yiddish and Hebrew courses - We offer courses at several levels - from beginner to conversational level. Classes are conducted in a hybrid formula or online.
Jewish Open University - We follow to offer an interdisciplinary program of lectures – each semester focused on a different topic. Classes are conducted in Polish by lecturers from the most important research centers in Poland, elsewhere in Europe and USA. We work on this project with the University of Warsaw, and its students can obtain 5 ECTS credits as part of general university classes.
Discussions on literature & art and book presentations
Artistic, music and cuisine workshops – for children, teenagers and adults

We also collaborate with other cultural organizations in order to advance and promote Jewish culture in Poland.
The CENTER FOR YIDDISH CULTURE is a place where we cherish the legacy of our past while integrating it to our present and future. It is also a crossroad of Jewish and Polish culture. Our center is a haven for creative minds, for people interested in culture and its preservation and advancement.
