Prof. Justin Cammy is chair of the programs in World Literatures and Jewish Studies at Smith

College in the United States and is also an onsite program director for the
Naomi Prawer Kadar International Summer Yiddish Program at Tel Aviv University
(TAU). In this episode of The Global Connection, Cammy discusses the evolution
and distinctiveness of the language; why Yiddish and the flourishing of Yiddish
continues to be so central to strong multicultural societies today (including
in Israel); and the uniqueness of TAU’s Yiddish program and why it’s so important.
