Yiddish Texts

Reading Yiddish Texts

Mondays

In this course, we will read and discuss selections of Yiddish prose and poetry from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The class will focus on comprehension, based not only on the lexicon and syntax of the Yiddish language, but also on the cultural contexts in which the texts are embedded. With instructor Yael Chaver. Prerequisite: Students should have completed at least a year of college-level Yiddish language or the equivalent. Co-sponsored by Lehrhaus Judaica.
