Description
Introduction [1] In an online search of "Yiddish Canada," what comes up most often today are references to popular works on the language and culture (Yiddish World of Michael Wex), performances with Yiddish content (Ashkenaz Festival, Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre), and Yiddish library collections (The Joe Fishstein Collection of Yiddish Poetry). While this cursory search offers a far from exhaustive picture of the current state of Yiddish in Canada, it does provide insight into new trends associated with the language: the mass dissemination of a popular culture based in Yiddish and its increasing presence in the realms of performance, translation and scholarship. Less evident are the uses of Yiddish within Canada's insular Haredi (Ultra Orthodox) communities.
