The Yiddish Forum, a Townsend Center working group launched this academic year, had its first meeting of the semester on Thursday, January 21. We read and discussed Joshua Fishman's 1973 article "Nationalism and Language: Social Processes in the 19th and 20th Centuries."
Our meetings, which are conducted in Yiddish, take place approx. every other Thursday afternoon at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life. This semester we will be hosting 6 guest lectures. For our schedule and information about how to join, please visit our webpage.
