Welcome to YiddishMovie.com, where we have assmbled the largest collection of Yiddish and Jewish DVDs, Films, and Movies.
Jewish and Yiddish movie production flourished in mid-twentieth-century America and Europe, distinguished by the use of Yiddish - Mameloshen, the mother tongue of most East European Jewish immigrants. Yiddish was also familiar to many of their children.
Though only briefly popular and addressed to a limited community, Yiddish movies are among the most meaningful achievements of Jewish immigrant popular culture, even as they shed light on the range and influence of American mainstream media.
The sixty + feature-length Yiddish "talkies" and “silent movies” and numerous short subjects made between 1930 and 1950 provided their audience with its own cinematic universe, in which Yiddish was the predominant language and its speakers' sensibilities were central.
These Yiddish films offer us an insight into the daily lives and struggles of a pre-war Jewish population. Some of the films poignantly show the clouds of war looming above the people.
Most of the Yiddish DVDs are with English subtitles. Some of the Silent Films have Yiddish Inter Titles.
