Can Uncommitted Democrat delegates save Palestinian lives and US elections? We speak with June Rose, the Chief of Staff for the Providence City Council and Rhode Island's ‘uncommitted' delegate who's just returning from their #NotAnotherBomb and #LetPalestineSpeak actions at the Democratic National Convention. June Rose has a long history helping flip races to favor Democrats and joins us to talk about their role in the Uncommitted Movement as a former Orthodox Jew, who studied in Israel and took action into their own hands at religious school to make sure they meet Palestinians. They speak about how that changed their life, how they began in this movement, and what's next for getting Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the Democrats to finally act on Gaza. Rose is also one of only two trans people in the country to have managed a statewide political campaign and is the highest ranking transgender staffer in Rhode Island history. We also talk about the return to campuses, and how universities like NYU have snuck in new regulations conflating Judaism with Zionism, and declaring people who hold Zionist ideology as a "protected class" along historically marginalized people, as well as hostile architecture instituted across schools to prevent college students from practicing free speech about Gaza and Palestinians.

Video version of this segment: https://youtu.be/tq8y3KkAWTkAs many of you know, my first language is Yiddish. It is the language of the Satmar Hasidic community I come from. The story of why I grew up speaking Yiddish, and not Hebrew, is intimately tied to the story of the birth of Israel, Zionism and Jewish language. And so, today I want to delve into the history of how two Jewish languages came to represent contrasting Jewish ideologies. I was inspired to do this segment after visiting the wonderful YIVO exhibit in Manhattan titled: 'PALESTINIAN YIDDISH: A LOOK AT YIDDISH IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL BEFORE 1948'Link: https://cjh.org/visit/exhibit-info/palestinian-yiddishAddress: 15 W 16th St, New York, NY 10011About my guest Eddy Portnoy, the curator of the exhibition: Eddy Portnoy is an expert on Jewish popular culture.

"The Shmooze" caught up with Max Weinreich to talk about his interest in and work with the Great Jewish Books Club. Max, a postdoctoral researcher in mathematics at Harvard University, comes to Yiddish through his family ties to the language. His great-grandfather, also named Max Weinreich, founded the field of Yiddish sociolinguistics and was one of the three co-founders of YIVO. His grandfather, Uriel Weinreich, was a renowned Yiddish linguist in his own right. Drawn to Yiddish by a budding curiosity about this family history, he's an alum of the Yiddish Book Center's Steiner Summer Yiddish Program in 2016, where he worked on indexing poetry recordings, and has gone on to be the moderator for the Yiddish Book Center's Great Jewish Books Club since its inception. As a book club steward, he leads discussion and conversation about both classic Jewish books and new translations. Episode 345 January 17, 2023 Amherst, MA

Join co-producers Nahanni Rous and Eric Marcus on a research trip to the YIVO Institute in preparation for the upcoming season of Those Who Were There that focuses on the city of Vilna—a once thriving center of Jewish life and culture. Their guide on this exploratory dive into YIVO’s archives is Eddy Portnoy, YIVO’s Academic Advisor and Director of Exhibitions. Among the documents they’re in search of is a rare, typewritten diary of life in the Vilna Ghetto during World War II kept by Herman Kruk. Join Nahanni and Eric on what they found to be a revelatory and moving journey through time.
Director of the YIVO Archives Stefanie Halpern shares the harrowing journey of YIVO's pre-war collections and the cutting-edge technologies used to digitize them, in conversation with Miri Koral (UCLA). This talk was co-sponsored by the Toronto UJA Committee for Yiddish, California Institute for Yiddish Language and Culture, and Der Nister.

Michael Walzer, political philosopher of international renown and Professor Emeritus of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, joins the Tel Aviv Review on the premises of YIVO for a discussion on his latest book, A Foreign Policy for the Left. This episode of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by YIVO, dedicated to fostering knowledge of the ongoing story of Jewish life, with a focus on the history and culture of East European Jewry.
With his new book, When I Grow Up: The Lost Autobiographies of Six Yiddish Teens (Bloomsbury), cartoonist Ken Krimstein recreates a lost world, bringing to life the true stories of Jewish youth in 1930s Lithuania, preserved in anonymous submissions for a contest. We talk about the circuitous, perilous history of the stories he adapted, the role of the YIVO Institute in preserving Jewish & Yiddish culture, and how he tried to be faithful to the hopes & dreams of the anonymous writers while knowing that they & their world would perish in the Holocaust. We get into how he developed a visual storytelling language for this book, the new influences on his cartooning, the joy & spiciness of Yiddish language & culture, the research to recreate Vilnius and how uncomfortable he got when visiting Lithuania for the project. We also discuss the counterhistory that the Yiddish teens represent, the stories that didn't make the cut, the out-of-body experience of getting interviewed by CBS' Morning Show for the book, Hannah Arendt's notion of contingency and what the pandemic experience means to artists, and plenty more!

We're back earlier than expected with a special episode. Last week, YIVO streamed a lecture as part of the Uriel Weinreich Yiddish Summer Program on the topic “Yiddish Women Writers.” (See and hear the lecture here). The lecturer, Professor Avraham Noversthern, wanted to be controversial… and, well, he succeeded in that mission! In this episode, Jessica Kirzane, Faith Jones, and Ayelet Brinn delve into what made Novershtern's arguments so controversial, and how his claims run counter to the scholarship of a number of female academics. We also talk about the intersections between power dynamics, gender, age, and language ability in the Yiddish World. Perhaps most importantly, we also used this opportunity to offer and promote a variety of resources for Vaybertaytshniks who want to learn more about Yiddish women writers. See below!Key Anthologies:Found Treasures: Stories by Yiddish Women WritersThe Exile Book of Yiddish Women WritersYidishe dikhterinsKey Scholarship:A Question of Tradition: Women Poets in Yiddish, 1586-1987A Marriage Made in Heaven: The Sexual Politics of Hebrew and YiddishGender and Text in Modern Hebrew and Yiddish LiteratureWomen Writers of Yiddish Literature: Critical Essays Queer Expectations: A Genealogy of Jewish Women's Poetry: Women, Men and Books: Issues of Gender in Yiddish Discourse How to Suppress Women's WritingPakn Treger "A Collection of Newly Translated Yiddish Works by Women Writers"Women Writers in TranslationIn Other Words: Yiddish Women in Translation MonthWomen in Translation Month: YiddishTranslating and Teaching Yiddish Prose by WomenSongs: “Blue Jeans” by Ladytron, “Girls Like Us” by The Julie Ruin, and “Speech Bubbles” by WHY?

Most of this week's show was taken up with the first part of our interview with Rachel Rojanski, discussing her book Yiddish in Israel: A History, published in English by Indiana University Press in 2020. The discussion is in Yiddish. This week's show (May 26 2021) presented the first part of the discussion, with the second part set to air the following Wednesday, June 2, 2021 (and later be made available via podcast). Rachel Rojanski is Associate Professor of Judaic Studies at Brown University. She is author of Conflicting Identities: Labor Zionism in North America 1905-1931 (in Hebrew) as well as many articles on political and cultural history of East European Jewish immigrants in the U.S. and Israel. About the book (blurb): Yiddish in Israel: A History challenges the commonly held view that Yiddish was suppressed or even banned by Israeli authorities for ideological reasons, offering instead a radical new interpretation of the interaction between Yiddish and Israeli Hebrew cultures. Author Rachel Rojanski tells the compelling and yet unknown story of how Yiddish, the most widely used Jewish language in the pre-Holocaust world, fared in Zionist Israel, the land of Hebrew. (Additional publisher info here: https://iupress.org/9780253045140/yiddish-in-israel/) The interview was led by Sholem Beinfeld, professor of history emeritus at Washington University, St. Louis, and co-chief editor of the Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary. Also, we heard from Dovid Braun, Summer Program Academic Director at the Yivo Institute, giving an overview of the upcoming 2021 incarnation of the venerable Uriel Weinreich Summer Program in Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture.

Join Lou for a conversation with Jonathan Brent, Executive Director of Yivo about how things were done in Odessa. This refers to a celebrated story by Isaac Babel. In 1925, the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research was founded in Vilna (Wilno, Poland; now Vilnius, Lithuania), by key European intellectuals, including Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, to record the history and pioneer in the critical study of the language, literature and culture of the Jews of Eastern Europe. From its inception, YIVO was deeply concerned that the language and culture of East European Jewry were undergoing radical change in a rapidly modernizing world. YIVO's founders were tireless in collecting the documents and archival records of Jewish communities across Eastern Europe, years before anyone could have predicted the devastation that would befall them. Join Lou and Jonathan as they bring forth empathy and make it present in an amazing conversation about the work being done at Yivo and about Jon's penetrating and incisive commentary on a the world of the Jewish People of Eastern Europe at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th Century, a world as different from our own as that of Moses before and after he encountered the burning bush. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lou-agosta-phd/support

We invited Yiddish Book Center Translation Fellow Matthew Johnson onto "The Shmooze" to tell us about his recent discovery of the Yiddish writer Moyshe-Leyb Halpern's unfinished poetry.

In this episode,recorded in the hours before Tisha BAv, Doctor Sam Juni,takes us behind the scenes of the production of his groundbreaking studies on ethnic-humor.This field was rife with speculative suggestions,Juni's empirically forged statistics have forever altered the scholarly landscape in this area.Tracing his interest in the subject to the tragicomic upbringing he had as a child of holocaust survivors,he recounts his father's devastating history and the grim jokes the elder Rabbi Juni favored and relished retelling.Under Rabbi Kivelevitz's questioning,the professor explains the theory advanced by Sigmund Freud for the "masochistic" self-effacing jokes perfected by the Jews.Juni's marking of the trail of pain anew, was abetted by the rich YIVO archives, which allowed him to conclusively move beyond Freud to a definitive description and categorization of types of humor and link them convincingly to the communities which spawned and propagated them.He has posited new motivations for ethnic humor aimed at why common societal behavior has developed, that has been accepted by serious psychologists and researchers world-wide.Professor Juni's papers have spurred the study of the humor of Latinos, Blacks, and Women to see if the conclusions drawn based on his study of Jews, hold true across many minorities or oppressed groups.Intertwined in his conclusions on victim-hood is the insight, granted Doctor Juni into the prevalence of Jews in the nascent Civil Rights Movement of the late 50's and early 60's which he shares in this discussion.Doctor Samuel Juniis one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today.He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals, and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.Samuel Juni studied inYeshivas Chaim Berlinunder Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as aTalmidof Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.ProfessorJuni is a prominent member of theAssociation of Orthodox Jewish Scientists, and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979,Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in important research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded onpsychometric methodologyand based on a psycho-dynamicpsychopathologyperspective.He is possibly the world's expert inDifferential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studiesentailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations.Professor Juni created and directed NYU's Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titledCross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.Based inYerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors.Below is a partial list of the journalsto which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 articles.Many are available on lineJournal of Forensic PsychologyJournal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma.International Review of VictimologyThe Journal of Nervous and Mental DiseaseInternational Forum of PsychoanalysisJournal of Personality AssessmentJournal of Abnormal PsychologyJournal of Psychoanalytic AnthropologyPsychophysiologyPsychology and Human DevelopmentJournal of Sex ResearchJournal of Psychology and JudaismContemporary Family TherapyAmerican Journal on AddictionsJournal of Criminal PsychologyMental Health, Religion & CulturePlease leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
