History

Founded in the early 1920s as a response to Jewish cultural autonomy after Polish independence, the Central Yiddish School Organization provided secular Jewish education in Yiddish.  As many young Jews began to redefine their Jewish identity in relation to the modern world, some emerged as new kinds of nontraditional rebbes or rebeyim.
