I just returned from a visit to Birobidzhan. Extraordinary experience. I am so very grateful. If you can go, do so. My family all emigrated to the US from Russia back post WW I - pre WW II and so my visits to Russia feel like home in a strange way. But Birobidzhan, which I had not knew about pre this past year was different, special, confusing, wonderful and maybe the most meaningful trip I have ever made in my life. Overlay the Jewish history on the 'one day Soviet society existed and the next it ended' and it is beyond me to understand in full. I felt welcomed and will return for sure.
You're an idiot with poor English comprehension. The creator of the video is Jewish FROM New York, LIVING in China ruclips.net/video/Dr4OChQLVY0/видео.html
Thank you for a wonderful year of videos, Shmuel and Tzipora; they are a treasure! I have so enjoyed the videos for both the topics covered and the way they were filmed and narrated. The fact that my Yiddish is negligible is irrelevant; hearing these stories in the mamaloschen with subtitles works perfectly. Zay gezunt!
I just read Michael Chabon's "Yiddish Policeman's Union", a fictional novel about what might have happened if the proposed Alaskan Jewish settlement area had been created by F.D.R. It is very heartening to know that a Yiddish speaking Jewish settlement was created in this era and that it survives today. Thank for for this report and for presenting it in Yiddish, the language of my grandparents and I hope of my grandchildren.
Great piece … thank you young man. You captured something special here. Would love to see more about current Russian attitudes toward the Jewish people.
It's hard to know what to make of a place like this. I wonder the opinion of Jews who arrive in this place out of curiosity. Is this a good (alternative) place to settle compared to Israel, since Israel is a situation of instability, mayhem and dysphoria.
i don't get why people would take yiddish and not hebrew lessons. not that i have a problem with that but you'd have move opportunities learning hebrew...

Which is why most of the Jewish population left for Israel...

It's Yiddish, not German. Yiddish is a Germanic language.
