JEM - Old and New Theories about the Origins of Yiddish
JEM - Old and New Theories about the Origins of Yiddish
October 15, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
JCC London, 536 Huron St, London, ON N5Y 4J5, Canada
(and Ashkenazi Jews) - Kalman Weiser
When, where, why, and how did Yiddish come into being? Since at least the 19th century, linguists and historians have debated these questions and their answers regarding the early migrations of Ashkenazic Jews. Recently, genetics has entered the fray, yielding some surprising new arguments. This talk will explore various theories, including the recent controversy that Yiddish originates among medieval converts to Judaism in central Asia.
Kalman Weiser is the Silber Family Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at York University. He is co-editor of the second edition of Solomon Birnbaum’s Yiddish: A Survey and a Grammar (University of Toronto Press, 2016. His monograph, Jewish People, Yiddish Nation: Noah Prylucki and the Folkists in Poland (University of Toronto Press), won the 2012 Canadian Jewish Book Award for scholarship.

A remarkable Story of Rescue and Reunion
Of the 140,000 Jews living in the Netherlands in 1941, only 27% survived the German occupation; however, more than the citizens of any other country, the Dutch have been designated by Yad Vashem as “Righteous among the Nations” for saving Jewish lives. Hear the story of a little Jewish girl saved and loved, thanks to the humanitarianism of a Dutch Christian family, and the attempts to re-unite her with her rescuers during a 70-year quest. Our own Fred Ball will relay his crucial role in the recent re-connecting of these families.
Fred Ball, a former Ontario Government Microbiologist, spends much of his retirement enjoying classical music and passionately pursuing Jewish Adult Education. He has a keen interest in all things related to the Holocaust.

and Rescue Holocaust Survivors
While over 17,000 Canadian Jewish men and women served in WWII, Canada has not yet officially recognized the important contribution of our country’s tiny Jewish minority, who overcame widespread anti-Semitism at home and on the battlefield. Just before Remembrance Day, hear some of their stories from journalist and author Ellin Bessner, who spent 6 years interviewing and researching Jewish veterans and their families for her new book, Double Threat: Canadian Jews, the Military and WWII (University of Toronto’s Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies).
Ellin Bessner is a Professor of Journalism at Centennial College in Toronto. She has a degree in journalism and political science from Carleton University, and has worked for CTV News, CBC News, The Globe and Mail, and The Canadian Press. As a foreign correspondent, Ellin has covered stories in Italy, as well as several brutal civil wars in Africa. Visit www.ellinbessner.com.
