Children Programs
Shtetl Berlin is excited to introduce its first ever Kids program - a perfect opportunity for your child to experience Yiddish secular culture with some the finest artists and experienced children’s educators in the field.
These programs offer an opportunity to experience Yiddish music dance and culture together, or if your child is old enough, leave them to bond with other children while you relax at Ufa Fabrik’s lovely bar or enjoy a lecture or Yiddish music class!
