We will continue our study of Yiddish Literature in translation, from Irving Howe and Eliezer Greenberg, A Treasury of Yiddish Stories.

.

In class it appeared members did not like the Ostropolier stories, so we will not do another story like that.  Instead, I’ve added another serious story by Sholem Asch.

Please read the stories ahead of time!  They’re too long to read in class, but they are considerably shorter than the story we read last week.

(1)  J. Singer, “Repentance”  8 pages

(2)  Sholem Asch, “A Quiet Garden Spot” 5 pages
