Show Notes
Professor Justin Cammy, director of the program in Jewish studies at Smith College (https://www.smith.edu/academics/jewish-studies) presents his Valley Beit Midrash lecture "Yiddishland: Then and Now" before an audience at the Jewish Worship Group in Surprise, AZ.
ABOUT THIS LECTURE: How have Jews mapped the landscapes of Yiddish, both historically and into the present? What do various models of Yiddishland tell us about Jewish politics, culture, and self-identity, and how have they often functioned as utopian experiments or radical alternatives to existing realities? What do imaginings and experiments in Yiddishland tell us about Jewish power and powerlessness, diaspora politics, and the dynamism of Jewish cultural reinvention?
