Print technology, as introduced in the late sixteenth century, played a crucial role in establishing Yiddish as an Ashkenazi vernacular. Yiddish books formed a basis of a new cultural outing on which modern Eastern European Jews relied and could go on and develop a secular and high Yiddish culture. It regulated forms of religious devotion and offered its readers first glimpses into the European non-Jewish culture. Professor Berger’s lecture will demonstrate essential roles of Yiddish books within a conservative Ashkenazi society on the verge of modernity.
*Public parking is available at the Tuttle Park Place Garage. The garage and Science and Engineering library (bldg. #005) are on the campus map.

One critic describes the band as, “Dan Hicks & his Hot Licks playing tangos in Budapest...endless onstage energy, some truly romantic slow-dance numbers, quality musicianship and an adoring audience."
