TALK | Lunch in Translation: A midday series with Yiddish translators. | Yermiyahu Ahron Taub

Featuring: Yermiyahu Ahron Taub

Yermiyahu Ahron Taub discusses his latest work in translation, Dineh: An Autobiographical Novel by Ida Maze. The program will include a short introduction and reading from the work followed by a Q&A.

Available in English-translation for the first time, Dineh, posthumously published, is autobiographical Yiddish-language novel by Ida Maze (1893-1962.) Dineh is a pastorale laced in beauty and sorrow and a bildungsroman told from the point of view of a young girl. Set entirely in what is now Belarus, Maze’s eponymous heroine is fueled by her hunger for learning, connection to family and community, and love of the natural world.
