UCLA’s First Yiddish Moment: Max Weinreich at UCLA in 1948
In: Smith, Mark. (2014). UCLA’s First Yiddish Moment: Max Weinreich at UCLA in 1948 . UCLA: The UCLA Center for Jewish Studies. Retrieved from: http://www.escholarship.org/uc/item/4bz3j0wz (2014)
Abstract: In the summer of 1948, Max Weinreich brought the world of Yiddish culture to UCLA. He was the leading figure in Yiddish scholarship in the postwar period, and the two courses he taught at UCLA appear to be first instance of Jewish Studies at the university. His courses gave new direction to his students’ careers and to the academic study of Yiddish. From these courses there emerged six prominent Yiddish scholars (and at least three marriages) and evidence that Yiddish culture was a subject suitable for American research universities.
