On January 14, 2025, the Minsk Public Association of Jewish Culture (MOOEK) named after Izi Harik @mooek_belarus, in collaboration with the Museum of the History and Culture of the Jews of Belarus @jwmusbelarus, with the support of @ubjoc, held a literary evening dedicated to Yiddish, as well as a meeting with folklorist, translator, and Yiddish specialist Alexander Astraukh.

Volunteers from our center were involved in organizing the space, setting up the buffet, and conducting participant surveys. They also assisted with the equipment and provided a photo report of this wonderful event. At the end of the event, volunteers participated in the cleanup. According to the organizers, such assistance was very helpful!

We thank the organizers for the unique opportunity to attend such an event! It was a wonderful literary evening! It was equally fascinating to hear the language of our grandparents and great-grandparents — Yiddish! We are happy to respond if our help is needed in the future!
