Instructor: Samuel Kassow

Through historical readings and various Yiddish stories in translation, this course will study the shtetl, those largely Jewish market towns in eastern Europe. While the “imagined shtetl” has played an outsized role in Jewish popular culture—Fiddler on the Roof being just one example—the real shtetl was a complex community that had an enormous impact on Jewish life over the centuries. Readings will include selections from Sholom Aleichem, Mendele Mocher Seforim, Itche Meir Weissenberg, and other Yiddish authors, as well as some actual memoirs of shtetl life.
