Advanced Yiddish with Avrom Lichtenbaum: The River in Yiddish Literature
Man is, in fact, made up of water and without water man cannot exist.
We will examine the role of the river in Yiddish folklore, how Yiddish writers reflected the river and how the river appears in memories of home and, if there is time, in the new world as well. I.L. Perets, Y. Opatoshu, M. Kulbak, M. Gebirtig, Perets Hirshbeyn, I. Manger, I. Bashevis-Singer, Chaim Grade, and others will be cited.
