Part 3 - Becoming American: Yiddish in the Golden Land
Yankev Glatshteyn’s famous 1939 poem, “A gute nakht velt”, “Good Night, World” was translated into English many times throughout the 20th century.  In the choices translators made in this and other poems, we may read something of the history of Yiddish culture in America—its reception, the mythic burdens of memory-keeping it was compelled to assume, its shifting reputation as an authentic carrier of Jewish culture. We can also trace the shifting fortunes of Jewish American culture more generally. From the Series:Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies - May 2006
