How Yiddish Changed America and How America Changed Yiddish

by Ilan Stavans Editor and Josh Lambert Editor

So many things that are iconically American have Yiddish roots. Think of bagels! Or Star Trek's Mr. Spock. But Yiddish, a language without a country, influenced America and Hollywood while being changed itself. How Yiddish Changed America and How America Changed Yiddish is an anthology that explores that interplay, just like a bagelsnake eating its own tail.
