DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK SINGS YIDDISH:\nPASSING THE TORCH TO A NEW GENERATION\nA DAZZLING ARRAY OF YOUNG STARS LIGHT UP CENTRAL PARK\nThursday\, September 17\, 2026\, 7 p.m.\n \nEVENT KICKS OFF EXCITING 111TH NYTF SEASON \n\nAugust 11\, 2026 (New York\, NY) — A Yiddish rock star from Williamsburg. A two-time “Star Search” champion. An award-winning 14-year-old violin virtuoso. An emerging star of television and stage. Songs of resistance\, hope and defiance composed during the Holocaust.\n\nA new generation of rising stars of the Yiddish world will light up Central Park at one of the summer’s most popular cultural events: New York Sings Yiddish on Thursday\, September 17 at 7 p.m. at Central Park’s SummerStage. Presented by the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene (NYTF)\, this popular New York tradition will also include exclusive footage from a new WNET special about songs composed during the Holocaust.\n\nNew York Sings Yiddish is a joyful and interactive public event that draws thousands of people from all walks of life. The annual tradition of star-studded Yiddish concerts in Central Park was inaugurated in 1968 and continued for years in a variety of locations until it arrived at SummerStage in 2023 under the name New York Sings Yiddish.  This spectacular event transforms Rumsey Playfield in Central Park into an open-air musical celebration where the entire audience becomes part of the performance\, singing and dancing. Lyrics will be projected on giant screens\, welcoming all attendees to raise their voices together under the late summer sky.\n\nThis year\, New York Sings Yiddish inaugurates the NYTF’s action-packed 111th season.\n\nLed by Zalmen Mlotek\, acclaimed conductor\, composer and Artistic Director of NYTF\, with musical arrangements by Grammy Award-winner Frank London — who will accompany the performers with the help of his Klezmer All-Stars — this year’s program — Passing the Torch to a New Generation — showcases emerging luminaries of the Yiddish world\, including:\n\nRiki Rose: The Boundary-Breaking Yiddish Rocker from Williamsburg\nDaniella Rabbani: Multi-faceted Performer\, Creator and Podcaster\nThe Mamales: A Trio Brought Together by the Magic of Yiddish Song\nYair Keydar: Two-time Star Search Champion and Rising Off-Broadway Star\nMargot Weintraub; Emerging star of Television and Stage\nYosef Kogan: 14-year-old Award-Winning Violin Virtuoso\n\nHosted this year by the Canadian comedy duo\, YidLife Crisis\, New York Sings Yiddish is more than just an enjoyable summer evening out in Central Park. It is a celebration of the power of community\, shared history\, and resistance through song.\n\n“This year\, we are proud to pass the torch to a new generation of talented and visionary performers who are reinterpreting the treasures of Yiddish\,” said NYTF’s Zalmen Mlotek. “New York Sings Yiddish is our gift to the people of New York at the precise moment it is needed.”\n\nThe evening will also feature an exclusive sneak preview of the WNET AllArts Special based on NYTF’s Drama Desk Award winning production Amid Falling Walls (Tsvishn Falndike Vent)\, a groundbreaking musical\, portraying the indomitable Jewish spirit during the Holocaust through Yiddish song and narrative.  Originally staged in 2023\, Amid Falling Walls has historical significance\, presenting — for the first time — a remarkable collection of songs written and performed in Holocaust era ghettos\, cabarets\, partisan encampments\, concentration camps\, and clandestine theaters.\n\nNew York Sings Yiddish is presented by Capital One City Parks Foundation\, SummerStage in collaboration with the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene and supported by the Workers Circle\, home to yiddishsongs.org\, a treasure-trove of free Yiddish sheet music. The event is produced by Moishe Rosenfeld\, President of Golden Land Concerts and Connections.\n\nFor further information about New York Sings Yiddish: Passing the Torch to a New Generation or to request interviews with Zalmen Mlotek or any of the performers or request photos from last year’s New York Sings Yiddish\, please contact Shira Dicker at shira.dicker@sd-media.com or 917.403.3989.

That track record speaks for itself—speed dating really works. \nHow It All Happens:Plan to arrive 15–30 minutes early so you have time to check in\, grab a drink\, and settle in.

At the end of the night\, you’ll hand in your scorecard and we’ll handle the rest. Matches are tallied quickly\, and within 12 hours\, you’ll know who you connected with. Mutual matches receive one another’s contact details so you can follow up and keep the momentum going. \nThis isn’t about pressure—it’s about possibilities.
