"Between Two Worlds" Yiddish Books in Translation
The South San Francisco Public Library is proud to present "Between Two Worlds," a cultural exploration series made possible through a grant from the Yiddish Book Center. This multi-month program invites community members to discover the rich literary and cultural heritage of Yiddish-speaking communities through works in translation, complemented by films, discussions, and workshops led by librarians and cultural educators.
Beginning in March 2026, we'll explore essential works of Yiddish literature in translation alongside events that brings these stories to life. Whether you're curious about Jewish cultural history, interested in immigrant narratives, or simply love discovering new literary traditions, this series offers accessible entry points for learners at all levels. Join us for individual events or follow the entire series as we bridge past and present through the timeless power of storytelling.
