Intermediate Yiddish with Annie Cohen: Zi hot nisht gedreyt keyn redl. Zi hot nor gedreyt mit der tsung: Gabetes, zogerkes and other women religious leaders in Jewish Eastern Europe: Monday 3:00-4:30P
Monday 3:00 – 4:30 PM: Nov. 11, 18, 25, Dec. 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, Jan. 6, 13
In this class, we will read texts about the women who served their communities as professional ritualists and religious functionaries. Looking at a variety of sources, we will compare the portrayal of these women in Yiddish literature - such as in the above quote from Isaac Meir Dik – with accounts documenting real women. Designed for intermediate to advanced students, the class will be conducted mostly in Yiddish, but in English when needed and English translations of the texts will be made available to students. As well as discussing the content, we will also pay attention to new vocabulary and grammar. All materials will be provided by the instructor.
