It has been an exciting year! We had a terrific festival, KlezCalYidFest, in October (pictured above). Later this month we will announce another round of new grants to young people from The Yiddish Culture Fund. To help us continue funding our wonderful programs, please open emails from KlezCalifornia starting later this month and respond with your most generous year-end support.
Wishing you and yours a happy Thanksgiving!
