From June 7 to June 13, 2026, the Rady JCC comes alive with music, film, food, dance, and unforgettable experiences as we celebrate the third annual Put a Yid On It! Festival of New Yiddish Culture.

This is not your typical festival. It is a joyful, creative, and welcoming space where tradition meets today, and where everyone is invited in. Whether you are discovering this world for the first time or reconnecting with something familiar, there is something here for you.

Yiddish is a language of humour, resilience, poetry, and everyday life once spoken by millions. Today, it is being reimagined by a new generation of artists, musicians, and creators who are bringing fresh energy to a rich cultural legacy.

Across one exciting week, you can dance, listen, watch, taste, and take part in experiences that are as meaningful as they are fun. 

From hands-on workshops and family friendly events to powerful performances and live music, every moment is designed to bring people together.
