David Mazower and Tom L. Freudenheim explore the heritage and influence of the Yiddish language, flowing through Jewish life and culture for a millennium and leaving a legacy of endless creativity.
It was the everyday language of most of the world’s Jews for a thousand years, shaping a cultural legacy of remarkable diversity and achievement. The Yiddish Book Center in Massachusetts is the first museum devoted entirely to this heritage, with its immersive permanent exhibition Yiddish: A Global Culture at its core. Its chief curator, journalist David Mazower, joins art historian and former YIVO director Tom L. Freudenheim to explore this essential yet often overlooked aspect of modern Jewish life – from migration and adaptation to innovation and enduring creativity.
