The folks at KlezCalifornia have put up an excellent resources guide for people “available in the San Francisco Bay Area for performances, lectures, workshops, and classes on various aspects of Eastern European Yiddish culture: klezmer music, Yiddish language, Eastern European Jewish history, Ashkenazi influences on American Jewish life, Yiddish theatre, paper-cutting, and other folk arts.”
