Yiddish Children’s Literature Today
Wednesday, October 7, 2020 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
The Jewish children’s literature field is booming and the call to provide representation of Jewish children, for Jewish children, has played a large part in that. The publication of Miriam Udel’s new book of translated Yiddish children’s literature, Honey on the Page, is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the history of Yiddish children’s literature, and to examine the roles it can play for children today.
What is the potential for Yiddish literature to educate not just Jewish readers, but non-Jewish readers? How is Yiddish literature different from other texts aimed at young Jewish readers? What can it bring to the field of Jewish children’s literature that other texts might not? Join us for a conversation exploring these questions moderated by Rokhl Kafrissen (Tablet Magazine) with Miriam Udel, Naomi Seidman, and Jennifer Young.
