Lecture: Finding Home in Yiddishland - Talk and Discussion
Sunday December 22, 2024 9:30am - 10:45am EST
507 - Hebrew Union College
The term "Yiddishland” is often used to describe the people, projects, and events that make up the contemporary Yiddish cultural scene. In this session, we will explore the different ways that “Yiddishland” has been understood throughout the past century and discuss how we imagine and describe the contemporary Yiddish cultural scene. Is it a nation? A lost homeland? A cultural space? Together we will consider what makes Yiddish a home to so many of us and how the idea of Yiddishland can hold space for diverse expressions of cultural identity while activating networks of solidarity and support.
