The Japan Yidish Club (JYC) has become an official activity of the Tokyo Institute of Jewish Studies. We hope to see you to have a schmooze in Yiddish, and also to continue the Yiddish class for beginners.

Below is a (somewhat revised) quote from
Der Yapanisher Yid, our Yiddish-English bilingual publication, which is the only Yiddish publication in the Far East.


"The Japan Yiddish Club offers an opportunity to speak Yiddish. If you like to speak mame-loshn, or if you want to learn our language, the club is for you. The club was established in the beginning of 1990 by two founders. The first founder is Jack Halpern, who knows 12 languages and is a kanji researcher and lexicographer. The second founder is Chaim Pevner, an American linguist (he no longer lives in Japan). Our honorary president is the late Joseph Shimkin, a speaker of a genuine Polish Yiddish who lived in Japan for many years. We meet about twice a month on Sunday afternoons in the Judaica Library of the JCC. We also keep a small library of Yiddish books, magazines, cassettes and video tapes."
