Abstract:
The Nahum Stutchkoff collection in the Dorot Jewish Division of The New York Public Library contains Yiddish translations, plays, song lyrics, and radio programs created by Yiddish linguist and playwright Nahum Stutchkoff (1893–1965). This article describes the collection in the context of the Jewish Division’s holdings, using bibliographic details about his known works to trace Stutchkoff’s career as a Yiddish actor, translator, director, playwright, and linguist. Stutchkoff’s radio scripts in particular provide rare documentation of the golden era of Yiddish radio explored by Henry Sapoznik

Abstract:
When introducing a collection of essays on Yiddish, Joseph Sherman asserted, among other things, that: Although the Nazi Holocaust effectively destroyed Yiddish together with the Jews of Eastern Europe for whom it was a lingua franca, the Yiddish language, its literature and culture have proven remarkably resilient. Against all odds, Yiddish has survived to become a focus of serious intellectual, artistic and scholarly activity in the sixty-odd years that have passed since the end of World War II.

Abstract: The following article investigates the topos of joy across the work of modernist Yiddish poet Yankev Glatshteyn, from its earliest iterations in his 1929 collection Kredos (Credo) to his 1961 volume Di freyd fun yidishn vort (The joy of the Yiddish word). Although read frequently as a poet of mourning, Glatshteyn’s oeuvre evinces a decades-long interest in the politics and poetics of Yiddish freyd . As this article demonstrates, the Yiddish word freyd indexes the poet’s anger with the universalizing legacies of the Enlightenment and their iterations in Soviet communism and National S

This article examines the context and content of the 1936 Soviet Yiddish publication of Neger-Dikhtung in Amerike, which remains to this day the most extensive anthology of African-Diasporic poetry in Yiddish translation.

The significance of this booklet lies in two main factors. First, it includes the fullest collection of sequences of talmudic narrative in Yiddish that is known of up to its time.

Modern hasidic scholarship should therefore address itself to the question of the source value of the text of this important and early collection of narrative hasidic lore.

Abstract On 24 April 1948, facing his colleagues at the Composers’ Congress, Shostakovich had pledged to place melody at the heart of his future works, melody infused with the essence of folklore. He had promised to produce romances and songs. In May, the composer began querying a Jewish friend about the pronunciation of certain Yiddish words and the rhythmic flow of folk texts that he knew only in Russian translation. What he was studying was a collection of translated texts, Jewish Folk Songs, that had been published in Moscow in 1947.
