Thank you Michael Rossi for the amazing story about Yiddish Glory on BBC News (World)! Survivors of the Holocaust who sang these songs in 1945 could never, ever imagine their voices would be heard on radio stations around the world in 2022! (starts at 15:40) bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…

The Forward speaks to author @JonBranfman and translator Lili Rosen about our forthcoming Yiddish translation of You Be You. forward.com/culture/480931…

This convo about Asian American Jewish identity and creating a place of belonging (moderated by Rabbi Mira Rivera, the first Filipina-American Rabbi to be ordained at JTS) looks amazing! Tomorrow at 8PM. romemu ♡ רוממו The LUNAR Collective Jews of Color Initiative hannahsenesh.org/conversations-…

Путін розпочав повномасштабну війну проти України. Тривають удари по мирних українських містах. Це загарбницька війна. Україна буде захищатися та переможе. Світ може і має зупинити Путіна. Час діяти — просто зараз.

NOW!!!

I was asked to contribute to this forum of historians commenting on the crisis on Ukraine through the lens of Jewish history.

In geveb is seeking submissions from Yiddishists and scholars of Yiddish or Jewish history & literature who are in or from Ukraine and can speak to their current experiences in relation to Yiddish Studies, whatever that relationship might be. ingeveb.org/blog/call-for-…

If you missed the excellent lecture from Natan Meir on 'Town Fools, Madmen, and Possessed Women: The Mentally Ill in Jewish Eastern Europe' you can now watch a recording on our YouTube, fully captioned! youtube.com/watch?v=keAnTM…

At a time when Israelis face terror in the streets of Tel Aviv, it’s so disheartening to hear that a guest speaker Duke University showed such callous disregard for #Israeli lives & lived experiences. Pro-Palestinian activism should be welcome on campus, but not this 👇 Simply #shameful

Great piece.

This is an amazingly insightful essay on Heartstopper.

I just finished this today and it was such a fascinating read. A really important book for people within Jewish Studies and Disability Studies!

Fantastic piece in today's The New York Times by Dan Bilefsky and Maham Javaid about the role of queer soldiers and veterans in the push for LGBTQ+ rights in Ukraine. #UkraineRussiaWar

I will talking about my book, Stepchildren of the Shtetl, this Sunday, in conversation with Glenn Dynner and Eva Hoffman. I'm looking forward to the discussion! This is a remote event.

Academic twitter (and esp. historians): what are your 2-3 favorite works on the body, theoretical or empirical? I'm analyzing a miracle tale with lots of body stuff and need to get some perspective.
