Why "Yiddish Alone is Not Enough" for Sore-Rukhl Schaechter
Watch now:
Rukhl (Sore-Rukhl) Schaechter—editor of the Forverts and daughter of Yiddish linguist Mordkhe Schaechter—explains why she believes that it is not enough to understand and speak Yiddish, and why she therefore became more "frum" (religiously observant).
This is an excerpt from an oral history with Rukhl (Sore-Rukhl) Schaechter.
This excerpt is in Yiddish.
This interview is part of the Beyond the Books: Yiddish writers and their descendants series.
