YUNG YiDiSH - a go-to place to find subculture in Tel Aviv

An interesting article in The Pickle about YUNG YiDiSH, a library in Tel Aviv that serves as an alternative music venue in the evening. “It was obvious to me that a cultural place, in order to be relevant, needs to be in a noisy space, a hurtful space, a space where you can do things” - the founder Mendy Cahan shares his idea behind the library/club. He also believes that preserving Yiddish goes well with punk: “There is no establishment behind Yiddish. We don’t have an Académie Française, we don’t have powers from above. But Yiddish finds its way, and we manage, and have always managed, to teach our children to read and write without these structures.”
