Yiddish culture for all Richmonders

Sholem aleykhem! Welcome to Yiddish RVA, Richmond’s home for all things Yiddish. What started as a one-off, grassroots festival has now blossomed into a year-round celebration of Yiddish culture. Through concerts, lectures, film screenings, and more, we are working to raise awareness of Yiddish as a living language with a vibrant, evolving artistic tradition that is accessible to all.

Whether you’re a Yiddishist or a newcomer, young or old, Jewish or not –
everyone is welcome at Yiddish RVA!
