Remembering Fishl Kutner

Tribute Program Co-sponsored by the International Association of Yiddish Clubs Admission: Free Registration is required. Register

Philip (Fishl) Kutner dedicated his life to Yiddish culture. He served as president of the International Association of Yiddish Clubs (IAYC), helping to coordinate Yiddish conferences throughout North America. Fishl also published Der Bay, an Anglo-Yiddish newsletter focusing on Yiddish culture that ran for 25 years. Der Bay had a readership across every US state and 35 countries around the world. Fishl passed away in February 2024, but he leaves behind a lasting impact in the Yiddish cultural world.

Commemorate the life and achievements of Yiddish culture advocate Fishl Kutner through this virtual two-and-a-half-hour tribute program complete with lectures, theater performances, Yiddish conversation, and resources for learning Yiddish.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
