Under Trump 2.0, we adults are taught to fear The Other, we must become a monolinguistic culture: English over all. But during this week of Jewish high holy days, we ask what is this ancient language of Yiddish? It is not a mono, it is instead a fusion language formed by Jews of the worldwide diaspora, yielding a worldwide nation needing no borders. Our guest, Miriam Udel is a rabbi, scholar, and a mother, and her soon to be published book is called Modern Jewish Worldmaking Through Yiddish Children’s Literature. Now that may sound obtuse but give a listen. She takes on the evil of cultural nationalism which we see in the State of Israel today. And she explains how Yiddish is an example of Jews being citizens of where they are, making real a democratic egalitarian vision. And Yiddish is about empowering women and redressing wealth inequality. As she explains, where Hebrew divides, Yiddish unites.
