Yiddish lives once again on our stage, expressing the wisdom of those who are no longer with us. “In a world where conscience and compassion have sunk to new depths, Yiddish has not died, Yiddish has become the soul” (Haim Hefer). Yiddishpiel – The Yiddish Theater in Israel – is the only Yiddish theater in Israel! Yiddishpiel was established in 1987 with the mission of restoring to Yiddish, the language that had almost disappeared, its charm, its popularity, and its glory, and to make it the focus of a rich and significant culture that is an important foundation stone in the history of the Jewish nation. Yiddishpiel was founded by its Artistic Director Shmuel Atzmon-Wircer, in response to a vital need to re-establish the lost honor of the Yiddish language and its culture, and to revive it. His mission, that at first looked impossible, was not well received and fell on deaf ears, but behind him stood first-class social, financial and artistic public figures, from the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Tel-Aviv-Jaffa Municipality, headed by the then Mayor Shlomo Lahat (Tchitch), an enthusiastic supporter of this idea. All these made the dream of Shmuel Atzmon and his troupe of actors a reality. They succeeded in reviving and preserving a cultural and historical asset and brought us to the present day with more than 25 years of diverse activity by our theater. Since 2015 the CEO of the theatre is Mr.Zelig Rabinovitz . the Artistic Director is Mr. Sassi Keshet. More than 100 new productions have been staged by the Yiddishpiel Theater until today with performances throughout Israel. The theater also earned international recognition for its achievements, as a result of its steady participation in dozens of international festivals worldwide and winning a great number of international prizes. The finest actors have performed and preforming in the Yiddishpiel Theater from its very onset including veteran Yiddish actors such as Yaakov Alperin, Yaakov Bodo, Anabell
