"KlezKanada's first Yiddish Culture Jam!
February 26 - March 1, 2026

The program will showcase and explore the tremendously rich outpouring of new Yiddish art and performance being created today and offer creative skill-building workshops. Alongside this focus on new work, the program will highlight the rich tradition of cultural exchange in Yiddish culture by connecting with our neighbouring cultural communities and cultivating spaces for collaboration."

How do musicians promote their work ethically now?

I've got a new album coming out next year. It's the best work I've ever done. My first 100% Yiddish record. I don't want it to drop like a stone and disappear.

I stopped posting on Facebook and Insta years ago, although I haven't shut my accounts. I erased my twitter. I'm contemplating taking everything off Spotify.

I'm still on YouTube. Not sure how to defend that morally, but there I am.

Tiktok looks like it's fallen to the far right and it seems like sooner or later I'll just wind up shadow banned there with the stuff I make.

Legacy media barely exists now.

Not sure what to do. I can't bring myself to go back to Elon. That's disgusting. Should I start posting on Zuck's evil sites again? I hate the idea of making content for that guy.

The fediverse music stuff is growing, but it's still in its infancy, with a tiny following.

Should I just put my efforts into promoting on youtube?

It's a given--there's no money in any of this for us now. I would just be trying to raise the profile of the music to get (Covid-safer) live bookings, and also because the people who played on the record did pure brilliance, and I don't want their work to disappear.

I don't know.

Any ideas?
