Generation J
ages 18 to 30
6-19 April, 2026

We are young and we are Yiddish.
Yiddish?
The granny language?
Yes – and no.
Experience why Yiddish is exactly for you
and join Generation J.
Where young and Yiddish refuse to be opposites.
Curious?

Zayt bagrist! 

  My name
is Jojne

and I invite you
to our youth camp!

Let’s find out
together!

So what is Generation J?

Creative community, campground, language school – you name it. All of that, and yet different. Generation J brings together arts and learning, debate and friendship. Come explore and build a world with us – grounded in Yiddish culture, and drawing on all of our unique backgrounds and experiences. A world that goes far beyond Shtisel and stereotypes; a world that is creative, young, diverse, and avant-garde. Alongside other young people and wonderful teachers, you’ll develop your own creative project and learn so much along the way - about Yiddish, beauty and politics, music, history, literature, film, resistance and empowerment, vulnerability - then and now -  and, finally, about yourself.
