Yiddish was the 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; contemporary
Hasidic (ultra-Orthodox) culture; and ongoing debates over the alleged death of
Yiddish. All readings will be in English translation
and will include short fiction, plays and poetry as well as historical
works.
