Description
Chaim Grade’s novel, Tsemakh Atlas: Der Yeshivah, was originally published in Yiddish in the late 1960s. Considered a landmark of modern Yiddish literature, the novel now known as The Yeshiva, captures the inner life of the pre-Holocaust Lithuanian yeshiva tradition, with protagonists who are steeped in the pietistic Musar movement and tormented by religious doubt. Yehudah DovBer Zirkind is a research fellow at the Herzog Institute for the Study of Hasidism and a graduate student of Yiddish literature at Tel Aviv University.
