Our goal is to promote Yiddish language and culture; to foster all aspects of Yiddish creativity; and to respond to the Yiddish cultural and educational needs of the American as well as international communities. The Congress attempts to achieve these objectives through a varied program of activities, such as concerts, publications, and art exhibits." The Congress also publishes the Yiddish literary journal <a href="http://tsukunft.org/">Di Tsukunft</a> (see also <a href="http://yiddish-sources.com/di-tsukunft">this entry</a> in the media section).  In 1953 the Congress united with the Central Yiddish Cultural Organization (CYCO), or Tsentrale Yiddishe kulturele organizatsye, which was founded in 1937. CYCO operates as a bookstore and publishing imprint of the Congress. The CYCO bookstore can be found <a href="http://www.cycobooks.org/">here</a>.   The Congress for Jewish Culture, or Alveltlekher Yidisher kultur-kongres, is an organisation devoted to promoting Yiddish: "The Congress for Jewish Culture was founded in 1948 as an umbrella organization serving a dozen other Jewish groups of varied political and cultural stripes.
