League for Yiddish

League for Yiddish supports the study and use of the language through classes and events. They keep the tradition alive across generations by hosting a mix of language workshops, reading groups, and lectures delivered in Yiddish. Monthly concerts and film screenings add a cultural pulse beyond the classroom, all in the same building.

You’ll find the organization at 64 Fulton St, New York, NY 10038, a short walk south of City Hall on an east–west corridor where old and new intersect. Subway lines converge nearby, making the trip straightforward if you’re heading toward the Financial District.

Every inquiry starts with a call to (212) 889-0380. Staff field questions about upcoming sessions and how to enroll, whether you’re brushing up on grammar or picking up Yiddish for the first time. They also pass along details about workplace lunch-and-learns they deliver downtown.
