Jeremiah Lockwood proposes a view of their work as a nonconforming social practice that calls upon the sounds and structures of Jewish sacred musical heritage to disrupt the aesthetics and power hierarchies of their conservative community, defying institutional authority and pushing at normative boundaries of sacred and secular. Beyond its role as a desirable art form, golden age cantorial music offers aspiring Hasidic singers a form of Jewish cultural productivity in which artistic excellence, maverick outsider status, and sacred authority are aligned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWatch \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zkbw-7jqzBs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eYIVO's book talk\u003c\/a\u003e with Jeremiah Lockwood and Jessica Roda about this title.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease note this book has limited availability.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eItems ship in 3 to 5 business days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YIVO Institute for Jewish Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44452692394202,"sku":"","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/4587\/3370\/files\/GoldenAges.jpg?v=1705956246"},{"product_id":"100-objects-from-the-collections-of-the-yivo-institute-for-jewish-research","title":"100 Objects from the Collections of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yivo.org\/Membership\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBecome a YIVO member and receive 15 percent off all YIVO store purchases!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder five copies or more to sell at your bookstore or cultural institution and receive 40 percent off \u003cem\u003e100 Objects\u003c\/em\u003e!

From the local Turkish Sephardi synagogue and the Greek Orthodox cathedral in Washington Heights to the lively Armenian and Greek nightclubs of Manhattan, his interactions with a diverse group of musicians, including an Armenian virtuoso who once performed for Stalin and the Shah of Iran, enhance his understanding and appreciation of these interconnected cultures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, at age twenty-five, in a sense he returned to his father’s shtetl and studied with Dave Tarras, the greatest living klezmer in America, who had learned his key musical lessons in that very same Bessarabian town following World War I. \u003cem\u003eFrom the Bronx to the Bosphorus\u003c\/em\u003e is not just a chronicle of music but a poignant examination of the power of music to connect cultures, transcend borders, and preserve the echoes of a nearly vanished world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note this book has limited availability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItems ship in 3-5 business days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YIVO Institute for Jewish Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46918466928858,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/4587\/3370\/files\/FromtheBronxtotheBosphorus.jpg?v=1759169000"},{"product_id":"lying-about-hitler-history-holocaust-and-the-david-irving-trial","title":"Lying About Hitler: History, Holocaust and the David Irving Trial","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy Richard J.

No objective historian, declared the judge, would manipulate the documentary record in the way that Irving did. Richard J. Evans, a Cambridge historian and the chief advisor for the defense, uses this pivotal trial as a lens for exploring a range of difficult questions about the nature of the historian's enterprise. For instance, don't all historians in the end bring a subjective agenda to bear on their reading of the evidence? Is it possible that Irving lost his case not because of his biased history but because his agenda was unacceptable? The central issue in the trial -- as for Evans in this book -- was not the past itself, but the way in which historians study the past. In a series of short, sharp chapters, Richard Evans sets David Irving's methods alongside the historical record in order to illuminate the difference between responsible and irresponsible history. The result is a cogent and deeply informed study in the nature of historical interpretation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note this book has limited availability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItems ship in 3-5 business days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"YIVO Institute for Jewish Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47331868704986,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/4587\/3370\/files\/61hQnVPdCzL._SL1024.jpg?v=1768238946"},{"product_id":"the-coming-of-the-third-reich","title":"The Coming of the Third Reich","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy Richard J.

Reconstructing these musicians' lives from the 1920s into the 1950s, J.

Some men sing Marathi Jewish songs, but over the past half century, women have assumed the important cultural role of stewarding these songs for the future. As author Anna C. Schultz demonstrates, the Bene Israel women are translators who creatively mediate the worlds around them through song; while they may not always be visible, they are audible, and this book amplifies their relational soundings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchultz explores sonic translation among the Bene Israel through the metaphor of the echo: a resonant, transformative, relational phenomenon. The voices of Bene Israel women today, like Ovid's Echo, resonate empathically with loved ones they have survived, and, faintly, with those they never knew. Singing this repertoire teaches singers and listeners not only how to be Jewish, but how to be Bene Israel. It also fosters sociality, providing a medium through which women echo one another, sharing cultural expertise while securing affective ties. But women also echo with one another, that is, they collectively and audibly translate sacred texts as embodied experience in the here and now. Women's repertories and practices were shaped in a richly diverse context, colored by interlinguistic translation between Hebrew, Marathi, Hindi, and English, as well as by other forms of cultural translation: translations from Cochin and Baghdadi Jewish to Bene Israel practice, Christian and Hindu religious discourse to Jewish religious discourse, from one ritual context to another, from men to women, from the written page to embodied performance, and from the past to the present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note this book has limited availability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItems ship in 3-5 business days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YIVO Institute for Jewish Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47339376148698,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/4587\/3370\/files\/schultz-_echoes_of_translation.jpg?v=1768494584"},{"product_id":"from-popular-front-to-cold-war-the-interracial-left-and-the-international-workers-order-1930-1954","title":"From Popular Front to Cold War: The Interracial Left and the International Workers Order, 1930–1954","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdited by Elissa Sampson and Robert M.

It operated summer camps, published foreign-language newspapers, and supported a wide range of cultural activities. An early advocate for the United States' entry into World War II, the IWO was also ahead of its time in championing the nascent civil rights movement. After the war, it was declared a subversive organization due to its ties to the Communist Party and disbanded in 1954, though its legacy as a model for working-class cooperation across racial and ethnic differences endures to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note this book has limited availability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItems ship in 3-5 business days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"YIVO Institute for Jewish Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537233821914,"sku":null,"price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/4587\/3370\/files\/FromPopularFronttoColdWar.jpg?v=1769452867"},{"product_id":"men-of-valor-and-anxiety-polish-jewish-masculinities-and-the-challenge-of-modernity","title":"Men of Valor and Anxiety: Polish-Jewish Masculinities and the Challenge of Modernity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy Mariusz Kalczewiak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndiana University Press\u003cbr\u003ePublished in 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e428 pages, 6 x 9 in\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9780394536460 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the turn of the twentieth century, Jewish men in Eastern Europe lived in a social reality in which both Jewish and non-Jewish men and women tested, debated, and redesigned masculinities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMen of Valor and Anxiety\u003c\/em\u003e explores how religion, class divisions, antisemitism, new domesticity, and militarization changed masculine ideas and practices in Eastern Europe between the 1890s and 1930s.

Often elided, if not simply forgotten, is the Soviet Union’s crucial role in that fight. With this book, acclaimed historian Jochen Hellbeck rectifies this omission by relocating the ideological core of the conflict. It was not the Western powers but Communist Russia that Nazi Germany viewed as an existential threat—in fact, “World Enemy No. 1.” Jewish revolutionaries, the Nazis believed, had seized power in 1917 and were preparing the Soviet state to destroy Germany and the world. And so, on June 22, 1941, a German army of three million attacked the Soviet Union to exterminate “Judeo-Bolshevism,” Hitler’s cardinal obsession. While Europe’s Jews were expelled, exiled, and persecuted by the Nazis, Soviet Jews were immediately slated for elimination. The Soviet lands thus became ground zero for systematic extermination, which was only later extended to all Jews, igniting the Holocaust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHellbeck plumbs newly declassified archives and previously undiscovered sources—testimonies, diaries, and dispatches from soldiers and civilians, Soviet and German—to offer a unique history that takes account of both sides. He reconstructs the years leading up to the war when “Europe against Bolshevism” was the Nazis’ most fervid rallying cry, and documents their annihilatory ambitions on the battlegrounds in the East. Widely disseminated accounts of German atrocities mobilized millions of Soviet citizens to join a people’s war against the hated invaders. Hellbeck tracks the desire for revenge that drove the Red Army on its path of reconquest, an advance that further inflamed the belief in a murderous “Bolshevik Jew,” stirring the Germans to fight to the bitter end. Recounted here in vivid detail are the events at Babi Yar, the Battle of Stalingrad, the liberation of the concentration camps, and the arrival of the Red Army in the Nazi capital. Finally, Hellbeck reckons with the West’s persistent disregard of the Soviet Union’s incalculable contribution to winning the war—and its sacrifice of twenty-six million citizens—as anti-communism and the Cold War turned erstwhile allies into mortal enemies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHellbeck’s eye-opening work is an astonishing new reading of both the Second World War and how its history has been told.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note this book has limited availability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItems ship in 3-5 business days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YIVO Institute for Jewish Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537309778138,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/4587\/3370\/files\/WorldEnemyNo.1.jpg?v=1769454234"},{"product_id":"crude-creatures-confronting-representations-of-black-people-in-yiddish-culture","title":"Crude Creatures: Confronting Representations of Black People in Yiddish Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy Gil Ribak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNYU Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished in 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e264 pages, 9 x 6 in\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-about 9780394536460 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" id=\"seemore-0\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstandings of Black-Jewish relations have been notable for the near consensus among scholars that the Yiddish press repeatedly condemned discrimination and prejudice against African Americans, and highlighted the similarities between the situation of Jews in Eastern Europe and Blacks in America.

It charts a significant gap between the sincere condemnation of lynching, violence against Black Americans, and racial segregation on the one hand, and the ways in which Jewish authors, newspapers, playwrights, actors, and theater managers actually represented Black people on the other. While most East European Jews would not have seen a Black person before their arrival in America, they had already acquired preconceived imagery of Black people through rabbinic exegesis, pious advice, travel narratives (either original or adapted from other languages), folklore, scientific explorations, pulp literature, press reports, political rhetoric, and educational materials.

Reading the tales, with every iota of their linguistic verve and historical charm preserved in Mikhl Yashinsky’s translation, it’s easy to see why the young Isaac Bashevis Singer thought them “masterpieces.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note this book has limited availability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItems ship in 3-5 business days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"YIVO Institute for Jewish Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537707090138,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/4587\/3370\/files\/AdventuresofMaxSpitzkopf.jpg?v=1769460138"},{"product_id":"menachem-kipnis-yiddish-folklore-and-photographs-from-interwar-poland","title":"Menachem Kipnis: Yiddish Folklore and Photographs from Interwar Poland","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy Menachem Kipnis\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eEdited by Sheila E.

How could they make the journey in the first place without helping hands? In this lively history, Rebecca Kobrin chronicles the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Jewish immigrants who stepped up by doing the lending themselves. Arriving from the Russian Empire and settling primarily in New York, they made livelihoods by assisting fellow Jews so they could purchase passage to the United States and, after arriving, obtain credit that other lenders would not dare provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wysiwyg-truncate-paragraph\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eCredit to the Nation\u003c\/i\u003e traces the novel practices of bankers who not only enabled the flourishing of American Jewry but also revolutionized the US financial industry. Drawing on previously unexamined archival materials in Russian, Yiddish, German, and English, Kobrin tells a story that is also crucial to the history of New York, as immigrant bankers’ financing of real estate transformed wide swathes of the city. Lenders drove a boom in the prices of tenement buildings, but heavy speculation eventually precipitated the downfall of immigrant banking. Kobrin notes in particular the case of the Bank of United States—a private lender catering primarily to Jewish businessmen—which the Federal Reserve refused to bail out from bankruptcy in 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wysiwyg-truncate-paragraph\"\u003eImmigrants’ grasping for credit, and the rise and fall of immigrant banks, gave way to a contemporary banking industry that, ironically, refuses credit to today’s immigrants.

Of the three million Polish Jews who found themselves under German occupation during World War Two, no more than 1 per cent survived the war.

To protect the narrative of “political innocence” during the Holocaust, Poland has enacted criminal and civil laws designed to silence independent scholars, including Grabowski, who was sued for defamation in Polish court.
