Modern Jewish Literature in the Classroom

Lesley Yalen, the Yiddish Book Center's education manager, joined The Shmooze recently to talk about her work as co-editor of teachgreatjewishbooks.org, the Yiddish Book Center's site that provides a trove of resource kits designed to help teachers bring modern Jewish literature into their classrooms. The site's resources—which cover classic Yiddish works and Hebrew poetry in English translation, American Jewish stories, and much more—are free and easy to use and share across digital platforms, making them especially well-suited to this moment.
