How Yiddish Changed America and How America Changed Yiddish

This week The Shmooze visited with Ilan Stavans, co-editor of How Yiddish Changed America and How America Changed Yiddish—a Great Jewish Books Club 2022 selection. In conversation we talk about this momentous and diverse anthology of the influences and inspirations of Yiddish voices in America—radical, dangerous, and seductive but also “sweet, generous, and full of life.”
