The beginning of literature in Yiddish
Join us for a Zoom conversation with the Yiddish researcher
Prof. Simon Neuberg
We will talk 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.
(The conversation will be in Yiddish.)
