A hidden gem inside the dingy Tel Aviv bus station is keeping Yiddish culture alive – for the time being.

When you think about the Tel Aviv bus station, you usually think about an old and decrepit building.

However, hidden inside the dingy bus station, a Yiddish library and culture center is giving new life to the ‘mama lashon’ – mother tongue.

Run by actor and Yiddish expert Mendy Cahan, the library, called Yiddish Yung, has been ordered to shut down as the bus station is set to be demolished.

Watch and learn about this hidden gem and whether the library can be saved.
