January2000 Vol 10 No.1 EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA! Yiddish Survives the Millennium! Despite the vocalized nay-sayers of academia, our beloved mame-los-hn is thriving. There is a slight resurgence in Israel, the former USSR and even in the United States. There are an increasing number of colleges with Yiddish courses. There is the growth of the National Yiddish Book Center, and the increase of Yiddish conferences, institutes and festivals. We have the founding of our International Association of Yiddish Clubs, and the increase in Klezmer groups. All of this doesn't take into account the vast usage of Yiddish among the Haredi. Yiddish is alive and well!! One of the major reasons for the continued interest in Yiddish in outlying areas is the wonderful ability to communicate over the World Wide Web. Mendele, the #1 Yiddish list online, has over-2,000 members all over-the world. Having access to the highest levels of academia and being:able to ask questions makes this the true frontier-of Yiddish world-wide. Several Yiddishists stand out in the forefront of this Yiddish, cyberspace revolution. Notable among this young:group are; Iosif Vaisman, the primary moderator of the Mendele List, Mark David, who mns the-UYIP, and Rafoyel Finkel, whose web site is one of the very best. To this list must be added the wonderful work of the Paris-based newsletters and web site -truly gems. Der Bay is an acronym for Bay Area Yiddish, and starts its 10th year of continuous publication. Its growth in numbers and services are totally due to your support. The date at the bottom of your address label is when you last contributed to the ongoing work of networking people interested in our Yiddish language & culture. ********************************************************* Editor: Philip "Fishl" Kutner, 1128 Tanglewood Way, San Mateo, CA 94403 Phone: (650) 349-6946, Fax: (248) 281-0923 Web site: http://www.derbay.org E-mail [email protected] To receive Der Bay make checks for chai ($18) payable to Der Bay.

    Orthodoxy in American Jewish Life1

    ORTHODOXY IN AMERICAN JEWISH LIFE1 by CHARLES S. LIEBMAN INTRODUCTION • DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ORTHODOXY • EARLY ORTHODOX COMMUNITY • UNCOMMITTED ORTHODOX • COM- MITTED ORTHODOX • MODERN ORTHODOX • SECTARIANS • LEAD- ERSHIP • DIRECTIONS AND TENDENCIES • APPENDLX: YESHIVOT PROVIDING INTENSIVE TALMUDIC STUDY A HIS ESSAY is an effort to describe the communal aspects and institutional forms of Orthodox Judaism in the United States. For the most part, it ignores the doctrines, faith, and practices of Orthodox Jews, and barely touches upon synagogue hie, which is the most meaningful expression of American Orthodoxy. It is hoped that the reader will find here some appreciation of the vitality of American Orthodoxy. Earlier predictions of the demise of 11 am indebted to many people who assisted me in making this essay possible. More than 40, active in a variety of Orthodox organizations, gave freely of their time for extended discussions and interviews and many lay leaders and rabbis throughout the United States responded to a mail questionnaire. A number of people read a draft of this paper. I would be remiss if I did not mention a few by name, at the same time exonerating them of any responsibility for errors of fact or for my own judgments and interpretations. The section on modern Orthodoxy was read by Rabbi Emanuel Rackman. The sections beginning with the sectarian Orthodox to the conclusion of the paper were read by Rabbi Nathan Bulman. Criticism and comments on the entire paper were forthcoming from Rabbi Aaron Lichtenstein, Dr. Marshall Ski are, and Victor Geller, without whose assistance the section on the number of Orthodox Jews could not have been written.

Krak´ow:Polska Akademia Umieje˛tno´sci, 2008, 79 pp. pau2008 CHRISTER KISELMAN ESPERANTO: ITS ORIGINS AND EARLY HISTORY Abstract. We trace the development of Esperanto prior to the publi- cation of the first book on the language in 1887 and try to explain its origins in a multicultural setting. Influences on Esperanto from several other languages are discussed. The paper is an elaborated version of parts of the author’s lec- ture in Krak´owat the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, Polska Akademia Umieje˛tno´sci, on December 6, 2006. 1. The first book on Esperanto and its author The first book on Esperanto (Dr speranto 1887a) was published in Warsaw in the summer of 1887, more precisely on July 14 according to the Julian calendar then in use (July 26 according to the Gregorian calendar). It was a booklet of 42 pages plus a folding sheet with a list of some 900 morphemes. It was written in Russian. Soon afterwards, a Polish version was published, as well as a French and a German version, all in the same year (Dr. Esperanto 1887b, 1887c, 1887d). The English version of the book appeared two years later, in 1889, as did the Swedish version. The author of the book was only 27 years old at the time. His complete name, as it is known now, was Lazaro Ludoviko Zamenhof, registered by the Russian authorities as Lazar~ Markoviq Zamengof (Lazar0 Markoviˇc Zamengof00). His given name was Elieyzer in Ashkenazic Hebrew, Leyzer in Yiddish, and Lazar~ (Lazar0) in Russian.

  • Two Awards for POLIN Museum in the SY- BILLA Competition

    Two Awards for POLIN Museum in the SY- BILLA Competition

    Two Awards for POLIN Museum in the SY- BILLA Competition The Warsaw Ghetto Museum would like to congratulate the Virtual Shtetl portal and POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. The Museum received two awards in the SYBILLA competition for the Museum Event of the Year – honouring the achievements of Polish museology and organized by The National Institute for Museums and Public Collections – for the Virtual Shtetl portal and for the social and educational Daffodils Campaign and the Łączy Nas Pamięć [The Memory Connects Us] concert implemented as part of the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. This year, prizes were awarded in six categories and the Grand Prix, which was received by the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław for the temporary exhibition of Leon Tarasewicz. This is a change compared to the last editions, when 11 prizes were awarded. The aim of the SYBILLA competition is to award people and institutions praiseworthy for their care and protection of Polish cultural heritage. On this occasion, we are talking to Mr Albert Stankowski, Director of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum and originator and the first coordinator of the honoured portal about its origins, the potential inherent in voluntary service and the growing interest in the culture and history of Polish Jews. What was the knowledge of the Jewish history of our – once – neighbours in 2009, when you were creating the Virtual Shtetl? First of all, I would like to congratulate POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews for the award received for the Virtual Shtetl portal in the SYBILLA Competition for the Museum Event of the Year.

Jordan ABSTRACT This thesis explores two ways that Lithuanian-born Yiddish writer Chaim Grade (1910­ 1982) deconstructs Jewish history and tradition in order to restore a sense ofpermanence and center to a community that was destroyed during the Holocaust. The:first way he accomplishes this is through the rich texturing ofland and the natural environment in his narratives. While the relationship between Jews and land throughout the centuries has been a fractured one, Grade's points to their coexistence, both on a historical and spiritual leveL In essence, Grade shows that the natural world should not be subordinated to the world ofrabbinic study. Additionally, the parallelism found in Grade's writing between nature and women, as well as his featuring of numerous female protagonists, demonstrates the need for women, as well as nature, to achieve equality within the patriarchal tradition ofJewish culture.
