Yiddish can be a home for all of us, because, and only if, it is created by all of us.
ייִדיש קען זײַן אַ היים פֿאַר אַלע פֿון אונדז ווײַל, און נאָר אויב, עס איז באַשאַפֿן דורך אַלע פֿון אונדז
The Knobl un Honik Kolektiv is a humble yiddishist DIY collective based loosely in Vancouver, Canada, which is also Coast Salish territories.
Knobl un Honik is a supportive and non-judgmental space for people who are learning about and reconnecting to our stories and language. The goal is to organize and support inter-generational Yiddish events and programs, and carve out a space for our diversity. We connect to the deep healing and wisdom in our ancestral knowledge and language to mend and build our Goldene Kayt, the bond linking generations. Bisel a bisel.
We are into dreaming big and small. Let’s think about housing, food, language, supporting each other through life transitions, in a way that is explorative and sometimes slow. We don’t pretend to know what we are doing but we are very awesome.
This project is currently spearheaded by syl (shif). Join us in organizing Yiddish projects and initiatives!
