Name

Yugntruf (יוגנטרוף) means “call of [the] youth”[1] and “call to youth”.[2][3]

It combines the words yugnt (יוגנט, “youth; the young”) and ruf (רוף, “call”, cognate of German Ruf).[3]

Activities

It hosts events such as

  • the Yidish-Tog (“Yiddish Day”), a day in New York in which programs are run in Yiddish.
  • the Svive Project, in which groups of Yiddish speakers come together to read and discuss in Yiddish. Svive (סבֿיבֿה) means “environment”.
  • the week-long Yidish-Vokh (“Yiddish Week”) retreat, held in Copake, New York, in which participants spend an entire week conversing completely in Yiddish.

In addition, Yugntruf sponsors a literary magazine as well as the publishing of books for children in Yiddish. Many members of Yugntruf have decided to raise their children as Yiddish speakers.

Une petite remarque concernant le nom Yugntruf: beaucoup de gens nous ont déjà demandé ce qu'était un "Truf" ? Le nom se compose, bien sûr, des deux éléments yugnt et ruf, ce qui signifie a ruf tsu der yugnt — « un appel à la jeunesse ». Translation: “A small comment about the name Yugntruf: Many have asked us what a "truf" is. The name comprises the two elements yugnt and ruf, which means ‘a call to [the] youth’ (a ruf tsu der yugnt).”
