Yiddish Tkhines are Ashkenazi supplications that were regularly written and prayed by, and centered the experiences of women, trans, and gender non-conforming people. Der Tkhines Proyekt offers resources and interactive workshops which teach new melodies paired with old Yiddish tkhines, and uplifts the tradition of zogn tkhines, of speaking and writing spontaneous prayers as practiced by generations of Jewish grandmothers and trAncestors.

This website is a work-in-progress, and will include more resources in the coming months!  For the time being, please check out our soundcloud, which features original melodies paired with tkhines liturgy.

If you are enjoying resources from this site, please consider donating to sustain this project and future offerings!

Stay tuned for an album of tkhines lider (tkhines songs) coming soon <3
