Title translates roughly as “The Yiddish Language.†Succeeded in 1931 by “Afn shprakhfront.â€Di Yidishe Shprakh was a “Yiddish linguistic journal published in Kiev from 1927 to 1930. A bimonthly journal Di yidishe shprakh The Yiddish Language was published by the cooperative publishing house Kultur-lige and was the main philological publication of the Kiev Yiddish academic center. Its editor was the veteran Yiddishist Nokhem Shtif a founder of YIVO who had returned to Kiev from Germany in 1926. The journal’s inaugural issue March–April 1927 was published under the auspices of the Central Yiddish Bureau of the Ukrainian Commissariat for Education. With the next issue Di yidishe shprakh was an organ of the Chair and from July to October 1929 it was an organ of the Institute for Jewish later Proletarian Jewish Culture at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Initially defined as a 'journal for practical Yiddish linguistics' from May to June 1927 it appeared as simply a 'journal for Yiddish linguistics. 'Shtif distinguished three language registers: the vernacular of the old generation partly represented in the works of Sholem Aleichem and predecessors; the highbrow language of modern writers such as Dovid Bergelson; and the contemporary 'culture language' most notably of the press. Although Shtif sought to target speakers of the mass 'culture language' the journal’s circulation hovered around 500 copies read mainly by Yiddish teachers.Apart from Shtif who published articles on various language-planning problems the most active contributors to Di yidishe shprakh were Ber Slutski Ayzik Zaretski Elye Falkovitsh Lipe Reznik and Shimen Dobin. In early 1929 Moscow literary critic Aron Gurshteyn criticized the journal for its purist approach to language planning. In the July–October 1929 issue Shtif published his article 'Di sotsyale diferentsiatsye in yidish' The Social Differentiation in Yiddish heralding an intensification of Soviet linguists’ anti-Hebraist campaign. That issue of Di yidishe shprakh adopted completely reformed Soviet spelling omitting for example final consonant letters.Although the last—twenty-fifth—issue of the journal was dated November–December 1930 it included materials from the First All-Union Yiddish Language Conference convened in Kiev from 8 to 13 February 1931 that issue is present here. Published under the imprint of the Central Publishing House this issue also signaled the demise of the remaining vestiges of the Kiev Kultur-lige. Yoysef Liberberg’s article 'Far parteyishkayt in der yidisher visnshaft-arbet' For a Party Approach to Yiddish Linguistics marked a full break with YIVO scholars particularly with YIVO director Max Weinreich whom Liberberg ridiculed for presenting Yiddish as an emanation of the Ashkenazic Jews’ soul. The Yiddish Language Conference decided to change the name of the journal. Between 1931 and 1939 it appeared sporadically under the title Afn shprakhfront On the Language Front reflecting its new more aggressive and politically charged approach' Gennady Estraikh in YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe 2010.

In the early 1920s poetry particularly avant-garde poetry swamped the literary pages of Soviet Yiddish periodicals.

51 [Part of the Attempt to Make Kharkhiv a Yiddish Literary Center]
DI ROYTE VELT. VOL 6 NR. 5 ONLY 1930
Kharkov Ukraine: Ukrinishn Melukhe-Farlag 1930. 1st edition. Original Paper Wrappers lacks front wrapper 8vo 160 pages. 21 cm. In Yiddish. Di Royte Velt was a monthly Yiddish literary magazine which began publication in 1924. <br> “The Yiddish literary journal Di royte velt The Red World published in 1924-33 in Kharkiv Kharkov in Russian then the Ukrainian capital was one of the strongholds of 'anti-Litvakovism'. In general terms the story of Di royte velt represents an insightful chapter in the history of Soviet Yiddish literary life of the 1920s and 1930s.<br> In 1924 there arose the question of moving the Yiddish literary centre from Kiev to Kharkiv and of launching a Kiev-based Yiddish literary journal. This matter was discussed in a special memorandum of the Press Department of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party. The head of the department M. Ravitsh-Cherkasky was Jewish. Motl Kiper the head of the Ukrainian Jewish Section backed this proposal arguing that Yiddish literature would benefit immensely from the capital's proletarian environment where it would liberate itself from the nationalist and Yiddishist hang-ups of Kiev.<br> In reality the Kharkiv Jewish proletariat was more acculturated than elsewhere in Ukraine: only 36 per cent of Kharkiv Region's Jewish trade unionists were Yiddish-speakers compared with 89 per cent in the Berdichev Region 55 per cent in the Kiev Region and 42 per cent in the Odessa Region.<br> It was no easy matter to create overnight a literary centre in a city which had a number of journalists but no literary lions. Moshe Taitsh for instance had been transferred to Moscow to reinforce the editorial staff of Der emes.<br> For all that the apparatchiks' initiative resulted in creating in Kharkiv a new Yiddish literary journal Di royte velt.<br> The first editors of Di royte velt were Henekh Kazakevich and M. Ravitsh-Cherkasky. While the latter was a king for a day in Yiddish literatureKazakevich was a remarkable figure in Soviet Yiddish journalism….<br> The first issue of the new journal appeared in September 1924 with a print-run of 2000. It was labelled a 'political-social literary-scientific bi-weekly journal'. Indeed the first issue contained only two literary works: a poem by Itsik Fefer and a story by Shmuel Persov. The other materials were devoted to theatre politics cosmology and literary criticism. Significantly the journal stressed its international character. <br> Among its potential contributors we find the names of the editors and writers of the New York communist Yiddish daily Frayhayt Freedom Moshe Olgin Morris Vinchevsky Shakhne Epshtein Moshe Kats and Moshe Nadir. Also it was announced that the Vilna-based Boris Kletskin publishing house was preparing for publication books by four Soviet writers listed among the journals' contributors: Arn Kushnirov Moshe Khashtshevatsky Ezra Finninberg and Nokhum Oislender†Gennady Estraikh 2002: 'The Kharkiv Yiddish literary world 1920s-mid-1930s'East European Jewish Affairs 32: 2 70 — 88; for Estraikh’s extensive discussion of the importance of Di Royte Velt see the full article at https://www.yiddishweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Kharkiv-Yiddish_Estra ikh.pdf. <br> SUBJECTS : Yiddish literature -- Periodicals.

In Mutual Aid which is widely regarded as his masterpiece he argued that despite the Darwinian concept of the survival of the fittest cooperation rather than conflict is the chief factor in the evolution of species. Providing abundant examples he showed that sociability is a dominant feature at every level of the animal world. <br> Among humans too he found that mutual aid has been the rule rather than the exception. He traced the evolution of voluntary cooperation from the primitive tribe peasant village and medieval commune to a variety of modern associations—trade unions learned societies the Red Cross—that have continued to practice mutual support despite the rise of the coercive bureaucratic state. The trend of modern history he believed was pointing back toward decentralized nonpolitical cooperative societies in which people could develop their creative faculties without interference from rulers clerics or soldiers.â€<br> SUBJECTS: Anarchism.

SERIES: Dos Poylishe Yidntum ; ; bd. 70; Variation: Poylishe Yidntum ; ; bd. 70. Born in Warsaw, Shatzky [1893-1956] received his doctorate in 1922 for a dissertation on 19th-century Polish-Jewish history. During World War I he served as an officer in the Polish Legion. From 1913 on he wrote Polish articles and reviews on Jewish literary and historical subjects. He came to write mainly in Yiddish after 1922, the year he settled in the U. S. Where he was one of the founders of the U. S. Section of YIVO. From 1929 until his death he was librarian of the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Shatzky's range was extraordinarily wide: Spinoza, psychiatry, theater, music, folklore, literature, language, and other areas. His principal field, however, was Eastern European Jewish history, and his major work was his history of Warsaw Jewry. He was an indefatigable and often querulous reviewer of scholarly works; the quality and accuracy of his own historical scholarship has often been questioned.

Born in Warsaw, Shatzky [1893-1956] received his doctorate in 1922 for a dissertation on 19th-century Polish-Jewish history. During World War I he served as an officer in the Polish Legion. From 1913 on he wrote Polish articles and reviews on Jewish literary and historical subjects. He came to write mainly in Yiddish after 1922, the year he settled in the U. S. Where he was one of the founders of the U. S. Section of YIVO. From 1929 until his death he was librarian of the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Shatzky's range was extraordinarily wide: Spinoza, psychiatry, theater, music, folklore, literature, language, and other areas. His principal field, however, was Eastern European Jewish history, and his major work was his history of Warsaw Jewry. He was an indefatigable and often querulous reviewer of scholarly works; the quality and accuracy of his own historical scholarship has often been questioned.

"AGUDAS JISROEL": BERICHTE UND MATERIALIEN
Original Wraps. 8vo. 155 pages. 22 cm. First edition. In German with some Hebrew. 'Agudas Yisroel'; Reports and materials. Compiled by the Provisorischen Comité der "Agudas Jisroel" zu Frankfurt a. M. Contents: Die Vorgeschichte der "Agudas Jisroel" by A. Weyl - Die Versammlung zu Frankfurt a. M. Am 29. Oktober 1911 (Protokoll) - Die Kattowitzer Konferenz am 27. Und 28. Mai 1912 (contains reports from the Conference, the Program of the Agudas Yisroel, etc. ) - Zustimmungskundgebungen zur Gründung der "Agudas Jisroel" - Auszüge aus Zustimmungsschreiben hervorragender Persönlichkeiten (in Hebrew) - Stimmen der Presse zur Gründung der "Agudas Jisroel. " This collection of reports can be assumed to be one of the earliest publications of the Agudat Yisroel after its founding. The Agudat Yisrael is a political movement of Orthodox Jewry, founded at a conference in Kattowitz (Upper Silesia; today Katowice, Poland) in May 1912. The 300 delegates at the Kattowitz conference faced the complex and challenging task of overriding very real differences among traditional communities in Germany, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, and elsewhere. The goal in forming Agudas Yisroel was to create an overarching, 'ecumenical' Orthodox identity to be shared by all these communities, represented by one organization. A compromise view prevailed, and individual communities were allowed to make their own decisions at local and regional levels. Though some steps were taken to set up a larger organization, including plans for establishing a world body of Agudas Yisroel to be called the Kenesiyah Gedolah (Great Assembly) , the outbreak of World War I made plans to convene such a conference in August 1914 impossible. Consequently, the first international assembly did not take place until 1923. - YIVO Encyclopedia. Subjects: Orthodox Judaism - Congresses. Agudat Israel. OCLC lists 11 copies. Wraps heavily soiled, detached, with some chipping to edges. Pages aged, with minor chipping at top; otherwise fresh. Fair condition. (GER-43-13)
