About the event
Shtetl Berlin's 2026 Festival kicks off on June 9 at Grüner Salon (19:30) with an evening celebrating the flowering of new Yiddish poetry written right here in Berlin. From the Middle Ages through the interwar avant-garde, Berlin has been a center of Yiddish art, music, and culture at key moments over the centuries — and today a new generation of writers and musicians carries that tradition forward.
