  A conversation (in Yiddish) between Eli Benedict and Prof. Simon Neuberg. Hear about the early development of Yiddish literature; the various theories regarding the origin of our language; and the first Yiddish texts that we have. We will also talk about Alt (Old) Yiddish versus Mitl (Middle) Yiddish; the different types of texts, books, writers, readers, and print shops which existed in that era. (In Yiddish, recorded August 27, 2023, on Zoom)

  Prof. Simon Neuberg, a Frenchman born in Morocco, teaches Yiddish at the University of Trier, Germany. He researches the history of the Jewish language and literature (his book “Epidemics in the Mirror of Older Jewish Texts” was published in 2021 in German.) He has published articles in Yiddish, English, German and French, and collaborated on various dictionaries of modern Yiddish.
