In the twentieth century, avant-garde poets, many of them women, were influenced by international literary trends and wrote in Europe and the United States. Yael Chaver, professor of Yiddish at UC Berkeley, will survey Yiddish literature from its origins to modern times. This event is co-sponsored by the National Yiddish Book Center, and held at the Bureau of Jewish Education, Jewish Community Library, 1835 Ellis Street, San Francisco, California 94115.
