Prof. Justin Cammy is chair of the programs in World Literatures and Jewish Studies at Smith College in the United States and is also an onsite program director for the Naomi Prawer Kadar International Summer Yiddish Program at Tel Aviv University (TAU). In this episode of The Global Connection, Cammy discusses the evolution and distinctiveness of the language; why Yiddish and the flourishing of Yiddish continues to be so central to strong multicultural societies today (including in Israel); and the uniqueness of TAU’s Yiddish program and why it’s so important.
