FOSTERING A VIBRANT RENEWAL OF JUDAISM IN POLAND
WATCH THE FULL WEBINAR ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL (coming soon) ⇐⇐
Our webinar with Goldie Morgentaler will discuss her mother Chava Rosenfarb’s Yiddish novel of Lodz, Poland January 1939 until the end of Lodz Ghetto in 1944. Dr. Morgentaler translated the book from Yiddish to English. Now there is an excellent Polish translation by Dr. Joanna Lisek . But this towering volume is virtually orphaned of a reading public. Noted author Dara Horn wrote: To call [The Tree of Life] a masterpiece would be an understatement. It is the sort of work—long, immersive, engrossing, exquisite—that feels less like reading a book than living a life.
Extensive references to the Tree of Life can be found at Yidlit, October 30, 2021 and at Yidlit February 22, 2022 and Yidlit April 23, 2022.
Haim Beliak and Marek Jezowski will moderate the proceedings.
The webinar will be carried out in Polish and English simultaneously.
