Where are you from / where do you live? From New Jersey; now living in Toronto.
What did you study at University? I majored in Jewish Studies, with an emphasis on literature and history which led me to my current program, a PhD in Yiddish Studies at the University of Toronto.
Please introduce us to your book collection. What areas do you collect in? I collect Yiddish books, broadly, but I emphasize textbooks, primers, and other educational materials produced for children in the Yiddish school system, from its heyday in the 1920s to its long decline, which reached into the 1970s. Teaching children Yiddish in the 20th century held a special significance. The question of language was paramount for modern Jewish expression and identity. Which was more appropriate: Hebrew, ancient and sacred or Yiddish, modern and diasporic? The Yiddish school system in America was one answer.
