| Ada Rapaport-Albert Seminar Series on Hasidic Yiddish | The Contemporary Hasidic Yiddish research group at University College London and the UCL Institute of Jewish Studies are delighted to announce the launch of an online seminar series on Contemporary Hasidic Yiddish language. The seminar series is dedicated to the memory of UCL Professor Ada Rapoport-Albert, a world-leading scholar of the history of the Hasidic movement. The series is devoted to the exploration of all facets of contemporary and historical Hasidic Yiddish worldwide. After an inaugural round-table discussion on 'Perspectives on Hasidic Yiddish Language' we start our year-long series with monthly academic lectures held online at 6pm (UK local time) on the first (or sometimes second) Tuesday of every month. For enquiries, please write to hasidic.yiddish@ucl.ac.uk. |
| NYTUD-UCL Yiddish Reading Group 5781 | Yiddish was the language spoken traditionally by Central European (i.e. Ashkenazi) Jews. It is a West Germanic language with a considerable Hebrew and Aramaic, and in some of its dialects a Slavic component. Yiddish has written records spanning 800 years and has been well studied. In monthly sessions throughout the 2020/21 academic year, i.e. the year 5781 according to the Hebrew calendar, we will explore existing linguistic work on Yiddish, concentrating on work on Yiddish syntax. |
