A hartsikn dank (a heartfelt thank you) for your immense support of this event.

In recognition of your support, we have put together a raffle! Now not only can you experience Yiddish in Argentina at REDCAT this Saturday, you can purchase a raffle ticket and win airline tickets to Buenos Aires! Support Yiddishkayt and win a trip to experience Yiddish in Argentina firsthand!

And finally, a hearty yasher koyekh (great job) to our friends at The Jewish Daily Forward, who recently won a prestigious WebAward for "Best Newspaper Website" from the Web Marketing Association. Don't think that's a big deal? Last year's winner was the New York Times!

The rich Jewish/Yiddish culture of Argentina is celebrated in a boisterous, trilingual evening of dance, film, Yiddish tangos, klezmer music, theater and comedy.  The performance features artists that embrace both their Eastern European Jewish and Argentine identities, including Los Angeles-based Argentine clarinetist Gustavo Bulgach and his Grammy-nominated ensemble Klezmer Juice, popular Argentine singer and actress Divina Gloria, and Schwee Miguel with dancers from his Tango Ganas dance company. Una Noche Idishe is a prelude to Yiddishkayt's next biennial citywide celebration of Yiddish, which will focus on the rich cultural production of the Jewish/Yiddish communities of Mexico and Argentina.  Read more about Yiddish Argentina, Klezmer Juice, Divina Gloria and Tango Ganas on
our website.
