In this @HasidicU talk I discussed some aspects of his storytelling, building on the work of the late Prof. Ada Rapoport-Albert of @uclhjs, & focusing on the gradual appearance of women as characters in his writings, moving from the periphery to the center youtube.com/watch?v=S-X3nu8W…

I just prepared a list for students with some timely, new videos of Yiddish songs, which I'll share with you. (It is by no means exhaustive.) All of these videos were in some way shaped by our current reality. What are YOUR favorite COVID-era #Yiddish performances?

So pleased (and proud) to read this fascinating interview about the important public health work being done by my future @uclhjs @HasidicU colleagues.
In early 2020, a team of scholars at @HasidicU pivoted from their study of contemporary uses of Yiddish in Hasidic communities to translating official COVID-19 guidelines into Yiddish to help Hasidic communities access public health information. 1/2
