Dear Friends of Yiddish Summer Weimar!
In recent weeks we have received many inquiries about Yiddish Summer Weimar 2022.
The horrifying events and human suffering taking place as a result of Russia’s attack on Ukraine have cast a very dark shadow over everything else. We have converted the OMA building in Weimar into temporary housing for Ukrainian refugees, and helping them to be safe is our highest priority right now.
As you know, Yiddish Summer Weimar is dedicated to being a place where people of all nationalities, ethnicities, ages, religions and genders can meet each other in a spirit of learning, creativity, empathy, individuality and community, and appreciating rather than fearing differences. In that spirit, we share with you the basic information about Yiddish Summer Weimar 2022, with full details to be published at a more appropriate time.
With the fervent wish for an immediate end to the suffering, violence and destruction,
Alan Bern & the Yiddish Summer Weimar team
