SUMMARY:Between Two Worlds: Yiddish: An Introduction to Language & Culture (On One Foot!)
DESCRIPTION:Yiddish has been one of the most widely spoken Jewish languages 
 in history. Yet it is often misunderstood\, maligned\, or reductively 
 imagined as a jargon of jokes or a mongrel tongue. In this presentation\, 
 we'll go beyond the stereotypes to explore the origins and evolution of 
 this global language\, with an emphasis on its vast literature and vibrant 
 culture. And why on one foot? You'll just have to hop on in to find out! 
 Sebastian Schulman from the Yiddish Book Center will present his talk 
 virtually on the Yiddish language.\n\nThis program is hybrid: come in 
 person and join the discussion or attend virtually. Zoom links will be 
 emailed to registered attendees.\n\nSebastian Schulman (he/him) is a 
 multilingual writer\, literary translator\, and independent scholar working 
 in and between English\, French\, Yiddish\, Esperanto\, Russian\, and other 
 languages. His work has appeared in anthologies and literary journals 
 including Words Without Borders\, Two Lines\, and Electric Literature. 
 Schulman’s translation of Spomenka Stimec’s Esperanto-language novel 
 Croatian War Nocturnal was published by Phoneme Media. He has held 
 leadership positions at several cultural institutions\, currently serving 
 as the director of special projects and partnerships at the Yiddish Book 
 Center in Amherst\, MA. He divides his time between western Massachusetts 
 and Montréal\, Québec.\n\nThis program fulfills the Information Literacy 
 for PaLA's PA Forward Gold Star program.\n\nThis program is presented as 
 part of the Yiddish Book Center's Public Libraries Program\, a partnership 
 with the American Library Association. Made possible by the Lilly 
 Endowment\, Inc.
