SUMMARY:Jewish Multilingualism in the Midwest: Yiddish Translations of Urban Experience
DESCRIPTION:Jewish Multilingualism in the Midwest: Yiddish Translations of Urban Experience \nMellon Sawyer Seminar: Sites of Translation in the Multilingual Midwest \nSeminar coordinator: Maya Barzilai (UM Associate Professor of Middle East Studies and Judaic Studies) \nVisiting participants: Mikhl Yashinsky (Actor\, playwright\, director\, and Yiddisht)\, Jessica Kirzane (Scholar\, translator\, instructor of Yiddish\, University of Chicago)\, Erin Faigin (History Gradate Student\, University of Wisconsin-Madison)\, \nLocal participants: Julian Levinson (UM Professor of American Jewish Studies)\, Mikhail Krutikov (UM Professor of Slavic and Judaic Studies). \nThe presence of Jews in the big cities of the Midwest (Detroit\, Chicago\, Cincinnati\, or Milwaukee) has been studied primarily through the lens of urban history\, focusing on the post-war period. The linguistic dimension of the Jewish encounter with the Midwest deserves\, however\, further scholarly attention. This seminar is dedicated to Yiddish (and some Hebrew) translations of urban experience in the Midwest. It dovetails with the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies theme year\, “Translating Jewish Cultures.” \nThe influx of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe to the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries catalyzed the development of an American Yiddish culture\, one that flourished particularly in the first decades of the twentieth century. While the majority of cultural production took place in New York City and its suburbs\, where most Jewish immigrants preferred to reside\, other big cities in the United States\, including Midwestern ones\, also attracted native Yiddish speakers. Between 1924 and 1937\, for instance\, a Yiddish-language theater operated in Detroit\, attracting major Yiddish stage stars from across the United States. The city also drew well-known Yiddish writers such as Moyshe Leyb-Halperin and Moyshe Nadir. To this day\, the language continues to be studied at the University of Michigan; it is an ideal location for a seminar to reconstruct various histories of translating Detroit\, as well as other Midwestern sites\, both into and out of Yiddish.

SUMMARY:Mellon Sawyer Seminar: Ezra Korman\, Poet of My City
DESCRIPTION:Performance by Mikhl Yashinsky\, followed by Q&A with Mikhail Krutikov\nThe author and anthologist Ezra Korman was born in Kiev and later adopted Detroit as his home\, becoming the city’s dean of Yiddish letters. Mikhl Yashinsky\, born in Detroit a few decades later\, has claimed an inheritance of thought and poetry in the author’s life and work. At this event\, Yashinsky shares that inheritance and performs Korman’s Yiddish poetry in his own translation\, inviting us to visit libraries and dusty synagogue vaults\, guiding us through the author’s possessions\, his voice\, his writing\, his grave…\nMikhl Yashinsky has taught Yiddish at the University of Michigan\, YIVO\, and The Workers Circle\, and is known to Yiddish theatrical audiences for his performances in Joel Grey’s production of Fiddler on the Roof and the title role of The Sorceress.

SUMMARY:BIC Pirke Avot with Rabbi Dobrusin
DESCRIPTION:Rabbi Dobrusin will facilitate “Zoom” discussions on the classic Rabbinic text: Pirke Avot. While the title is usually translated as “Teachings of the Sages”\, a more interesting translation is “Chapters of Fundamental Principles.” Pirke Avot consists of short rabbinic statements concerning ethics\, faith and interpersonal relationships. Reading Pirke Avot helps us focus on the values and principles which guide our lives. We will study the text in English referring occasionally to the Hebrew. The text can be found in the Shabbat morning Sim Shalom siddur. \nFor more information or the Zoom password\, please contact Sam Zielinski.
