National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene is a New York City-based performing arts organization that has been presenting Jewish cultural programming since 1915. It stands as the longest continually producing Yiddish theatre company in the world and the only survivor of the original 2nd Avenue Yiddish theatres, staging productions in English, Yiddish, Ladino, Hebrew, and Russian, often with English and Russian translations. Its repertoire spans plays, musicals, concerts, literary events, and workshops, aiming to engage audiences, educate on Jewish experiences, and transmit a rich cultural legacy across generations. The organization operates with a small to mid-sized team and is situated in New York City. In 2023, its board co-launched the musical Amid Falling Walls, signaling ongoing expansion of its offerings.
