Support our mission to build Jewish community in Downtown LA

Der Nister Downtown Jewish Center relies on your financial support to create a space where a broad range of Jewish expression and practice can find a home.

Der Nister is a fiscally-sponsored project of Yiddish Arts and Academics Association of North America (YAAANA), a La Jolla-based YIddish cultural organization, and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt California public benefit corporation.

When you donate to YAAANA and designate Der Nister as the beneficiary of your donation, you may be eligible to claim a tax deduction for your contribution.

You can donate electronically here:

You can also make a check out to YAAANA at 1128 Wall St, La Jolla, CA 92037 and put Der Nister in the memo line.

We will thank you and YAAANA will send you a receipt at the end of the year.
