34: Contemporary Yiddish Culture (and Podcasts!) with Sandra Fox Jewish History Matters
-
- History
In this episode, we're joined by Sandra Fox to talk about contemporary Yiddish culture and her Yiddish-language feminist podcast, Vaybertaytsh. The podcast recently came back for a new season, and so we're going to be talking about the origin of the podcast as part of the development of contemporary Yiddish culture and its history. Among other things, we discuss the ties between Yiddish language podcasting and Jewish camping, which is the focus of Sandy's research. She recently published an article in American Jewish History on these issues of post-Holocaust Yiddish culture titled "'Laboratories of Yiddishkayt': Postwar American Jewish Summer Camps and the Transformation of Yiddishism," which we also will discuss in the episode.
