Contemporary Yiddish Lit: Discussing Chaim Grade’s Sons And Daughters

Join Altie Karper, editorial director of Schocken Books/Penguin Random House for more than 20 years; Todd Portnowitz, senior editor at Alfred A. Knopf; and Rose Waldman, translator of Chaim Grade’s Sons and Daughters: A Novel, for a discussion centered around the book, held by many as one of the foremost collections of contemporary Yiddish literature. Originally serialized in the 1960s and ’70s in New York–based Yiddish newspapers, the epic Sons and Daughters is a precious glimpse of the rich Yiddish culture of Poland and Lithuania that the Holocaust would eradicate. It’s the 1930s, and Sholem Shachne Katzenellenbogen, rabbi of the tiny fictional Polish village of Morehdalye, is watching the world of his forefathers crumble before his eyes.
