Yiddish
Author: Miriam Weinstein
Publisher: Steerforth
ISBN: 1586422103
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
This first-ever biography on Yiddish is “a charming and highly readable history of the language” that “recreates the sound of a world . . . gone forever” (The Washington Post) For a thousand years Yiddish, was the glue that held a people together. Through the intimacies of daily use, it linked European Jews with their heroic past, their spiritual universe, their increasingly far-flung relations. In it they produced one of the world’s most richly human cultures. Impoverished and disenfranchised in the eyes of the world, Yiddish-speakers created their own alternate reality—wealthy in appreciation of the varieties of human behavior, spendthrift in humor, brilliantly inventive in maintaining and strengthening community. For a people of exile, the language took the place of a nation. The written and spoken word formed the Yiddishland that never came to be. Words were army, university, city-state, territory. They were a people’s home. The tale, which has never before been told, is nothing short of miraculous—the saving of a people through speech. It ranges far beyond Europe, from North America to Israel to the Russian-Chinese border, and from the end of the first millennium to the present day. This book requires no previous knowledge of Yiddish or of Jewish history—just a curious mind and an open heart.

Zaddik
Author: David Rosenbaum
Publisher: Felony & Mayhem Press
ISBN: 1631940392
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 606
Book Description
A former detective investigates a deadly diamond heist among New York’s Hassidic community in this “big, bright and successfully old-fashioned” thriller (Publishers Weekly). Dov Taylor is an ex-cop. He’s also an ex-husband, ex-drinker, and ex-observant Jew. The way he sees it, he doesn’t have much to offer anybody. So he’s surprised when he gets a summons from a rabbi in Brooklyn: A Hassidic man has been murdered during the theft of a priceless diamond, and the rabbi believe Dov is the man to solve the crime. Why Dov? Generations ago, his ancestor was a famous Polish mystic—a zaddik—revered for his ability to discern the truth. Perhaps some of that wisdom would whisper down the decades and help Dov see what others cannot. Despite his skepticism, Dov soon finds himself heading deep into Manhattan’s Diamond District, the feuding of rival Hassidic clans, and a family connection to the missing diamond that reaches back to Napoleonic Poland.
