A founding member of the Yung-Vilne literary group. Chaim Grade’s post-Holocaust writing was an attempt to recreate the destroyed world of Vilna as fully-realized universe. This lecture will consider how, within this grand design, Grade struggled to imbue his characters with irreconcilable inner tensions.
Avrom Novershtern is a Professor of Yiddish Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the director of Beth Shalom Aleichem in Tel Aviv and co-director of the Yiddish summer program at Tel Aviv University. He has published widely about Yiddish literature and culture.
