Ces jours-ci, il y a une série de conférences et entretiens à Paris autour des 100 ans du YIVO, le yidisher visnshaftlekher institut (traduit par YIVO Institute for Jewish research, qui ne rend pas le double sens yiddish/juif, parce qu'en yiddish ça recouvre les deux alors que voulez-vous il faut bien trouver des solutions).

C'est l'occasion de publier quelques liens si les archives ou l'actualité notamment musicale vous intéressent, parce que le YIVO propose entre autres une encyclopédie des Juifves d'Europe de l'est ➡️ encyclopedia.yivo.org/
➡️ yivo.org/about-1

"I may have finally found a #book that could justify buying a coffee table — and I think it’s worth your attention, too.

It’s called “100 Treasures from the #YIVO Archives,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like: a beautifully produced book filled with one hundred objects from the vast YIVO collection, which houses the world’s largest archive of #Yiddish and #EasternEuropean #Jewish #culture. Published to mark YIVO’s 100th anniversary, the book is a curated explosion of Jewish #history — rare photographs, old Bundist flyers, a handwritten letter from Marc Chagall, posters from early Yiddish theater, a preserved wedding dress from a displaced persons camp. It’s stunning."

St. Louis Jewish Light · Why I may finally buy a Jewish coffee table book - St. Louis Jewish LightI’m not a coffee table book kind of guy. I’ve also never really had a coffee table that would justify owning a coffee table book.

I have to take a sec to praise the KLEZKANADA!!! summer Jewish culture retreat in August. They continue to do really good Covid safety protocols, to protect the community. Fer instance, "Participants, faculty, and staff are REQUIRED to take a COVID TEST no more than 24 hours before arrival. You must test negative and be symptom-free to enter camp." Wow. Well done. Thank you. #klezmer #yiddish #jewish #CovidIsNotOver klezkanada.org/summer-retreat/

KlezKanada · COVID-19 Safety - KlezKanadaWe continue to approach our programming with caution and care and our 2024 Summer Retreat will again include COVID-19 protocols designed to keep our community safe. All participants, faculty, and staff are expected to respect the guidelines listed below and to support each other in their health and safety needs. Remember, your needs around safety […]

Fair warning: I kind of despise Jacobin, and Balthazar is a shitty writer... but this novel sounds amazing!

"It's something of a truism to say history does not reveal the past but rather the present: the refracted light of dead stars, to use the French philosopher Daniel Bensaïd’s image of the gone revolutions, will disappear in a daylight of mere facts if not recognized as a “concern of the present.” Annie Kaufman’s new translation of Ben Gold’s 1944 #Yiddish language #proletarian #novel Your Comrade, Avreml Broide: A Worker’s Life Story is one of those events, in which a seemingly lost footnote of left-wing #American #history suddenly brushes against the grain of the present."

jacobin.comThe Communist Who Reimaged Jewish Life in AmericaThe Jewish communist Ben Gold’s recently reissued 1944 novel, Your Comrade, Avreml Broide, offers a glimpse into a world in which a radical tradition of egalitarianism and cosmopolitanism overshadowed Zionist nationalism.

"After nearly a decade in development, a groundbreaking new initiative—the Universal #Yiddish #Library (UYL)—has launched as a public beta, bringing together the Yiddish #book collections of four major institutions: the Yiddish Book Center, the National Library of Israel (NLI), the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, and the New York Public Library (NYPL). For the first time, more than 60,000 Yiddish book records can be searched in a single catalog, offering unprecedented access to the world’s Yiddish #literature."
