Yiddish was primary language of European Jewry and
its emigrant communities for nearly one thousand years. This class will explore
the role of Yiddish in Jewish life and the rich culture produced in the
language. Topics will include the sociolinguistic basis of Jewish languages;
medieval popular literature for a primarily female audience; the role of
Yiddish in the spread of haskalah (the Jewish Enlightenment); attempts to
formulate a secular Jewish identity around the Yiddish language; the
flourishing of modern Yiddish press, literature, and theater and their
intersection with European modernism; contemporary Hasidic (ultra-Orthodox)
culture; and the ongoing debate over the alleged death of Yiddish. All readings
will be in English translation. Our class will work collaboratively with
students in “THTR 310 H Survey: Yiddish Theater”. Students may
enroll in both classes for additional credits with consent of the instructors.
