Borukh Habo!   
Welcome to the Living Traditions Homepage

It is a pleasure to welcome both old and new friends to our Web site. Through events like “KlezKamp: The Yiddish Folk Arts Program” (now in its 26th consecutive year) and programs such as our Peabody award winning NPR series the Yiddish Radio Project, our popular KlezKamp RoadShows plus new projects such as our groundbreaking 3 CD Yiddish 78 RPM reissue anthology Cantors, Klezmorim and Crooners 1905-1953: Classic Yiddish 78s From the Mayrent Collection, Living Traditions is in the forefront of preserving and presenting community based Yiddish culture to new and enthusiastic generations.

If this is your first time with us, take a moment to poke around our homepage and see who we are and what else we do. We hope you will choose to join us in this meaningful and exciting work.

So stay awhile. Have a piece honeycake. Yiddish culture has never been more at your fingertips.

You can sign up for a group bus when you register. Buses will leave at noon on Dec. 26 from New York City (near Penn Station: 33rd St. and 8th Ave.), for the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa in Kerhonkson, NY. Buses will leave the Hudson Valley Resort at noon on Dec. 26th, returning to New York City. (If you can't make it to the bus on those dates, a public bus is also available from New York's Port Authority bus terminal, though schedule is limited, and you would need to arrange for a taxi in Kerhonkson to get to the hotel.)
