People don’t usually\u00a0discuss\u00a0Sarah Schenirer<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman<\/a>\u00a0in the same breath. And why would they? Schenirer (1885-1935) was born to a\u00a0Belz Hasidic<\/a>\u00a0family in Krak\u00f3w, and ultimately went on to found the\u00a0Beys Yankev<\/a>\u00a0network of schools for Orthodox girls (also known as Bais Yaakov). Remarkably, since it was established in interwar Poland, this education system continues today. Schaechter-Gottesman (1920-2013) was born in Vienna, grew up in Czernowitz, and was a member of a renowned family of Yiddishists. After immigrating to the United States after the war, she became a leading figure in New York\u2019s Yiddish-speaking community. Among her many accomplishments, she was a poet, visual artist, a poet, songwriter, and playwright for children, cultural activist, and an educator. One might say that Schenirer and Schaechter-Gottesman represent opposite ends of the religious spectrum in terms of education in the Yiddish world. Schenirer designed the Beys Yankev schools to give Orthodox girls an alternative to having either a secular education or no formal education at all.<\/p>\n\n\n

In contrast, Schaechter-Gottesman studied art, was trained at the Jewish Teachers\u2019 Seminary<\/a>, and taught at the secular Sholem Aleichem Folkshul<\/a> and the Workmen\u2019s Circle. Although the two women belonged to very different cultural circles, both are currently receiving renewed attention: Schenirer is the subject of a forthcoming book<\/a> by scholar Naomi Seidman, which includes translations of Schenirer\u2019s writings in Polish and Yiddish, and the National Yiddish Book Center conducted a successful crowd-funding campaign to produce a short documentary<\/a> about Schaechter-Gottesman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been thinking about Schenirer and Schaechter-Gottesman a lot lately because two of my fellow Digital Yiddish Theatre Project collaborators,\u00a0Amanda Miryem-Khaye Seigel<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Debra Caplan<\/a>, were kind enough to send me photographs of Schaechter-Gottesman\u2019s and Schenirer\u2019s plays for children from the New York Public Library and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research respectively (thanks also to Itzik Gottesman and Janina Wurbs for their help in locating the Schaechter-Gottesman plays). A great deal of the time, even when I\u2019m based in Germany, I\u2019ve had little trouble accessing the various Yiddish plays I need for Plotting Yiddish Drama, thanks to the digitization efforts of the National Yiddish Book Center. And, indeed, if you peruse the catalogue of the Steven Spielberg Digital Yiddish Library, there are numerous plays for children, many of which are part of the\u00a0Noah Cotsen Library of Children\u2019s Literature<\/a>. Many of these editions, like all sorts of children\u2019s literature in Yiddish and other languages, come complete with\u00a0engaging illustrations<\/a>.

Yet children\u2019s plays were not necessarily published in book form or preserved for posterity. They may have been distributed to educators, designed for one-time school productions, and soon forgotten. Children\u2019s plays are not a particularly prestigious genre, even if they serve an important role in communicating values and cultural literacy to the next generation. Indeed, numerous renowned writers created stories and plays for children. Nonetheless, few translations or works of literary criticism concern Yiddish children\u2019s literature in general or children\u2019s plays in particular; we\u2019re excited about the new Kinder-Loshn-Publications<\/a> initiative by Yugntruf Youth for Yiddish and hope they consider publishing some plays for children. Whether due to the status of children\u2019s literature or women\u2019s role in early childhood education (at least outside of a traditional kheyder<\/em> school setting), many Yiddish plays for children were written by women. These plays were frequently published in pedagogical journals or booklets, the kind of ephemeral texts that are more commonly found in libraries or archives than in a digital library. And so I needed to write to my colleagues in New York to get the text of a 1929 Schenirer play that was published in Kinder bibliotek <\/em>(children\u2019s library) and two Schaechter-Gottesman plays that appeared in Pedagogisher buletin <\/em>(pedagogical bulletin) in 1962 and 1964 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our current Plotting Yiddish Drama<\/a> (PYD) batch gives a taste of the Yiddish one-act plays<\/a> that were written for children. While this group of six plays is certainly not exhaustive\u2013\u2013and makes no claim of being representative\u2013\u2013it suggests that certain themes may have been particularly popular in this genre. Some of these topics are not unique to Yiddish children\u2019s literature, like the talking dog<\/a> in Khaver-Paver<\/a>\u2019s A gesheft hob ikh!<\/a> <\/em>(I Don\u2019t Give a Damn!). While a talking dog might have made more sense to American Yiddish audiences than to those in Eastern Europe, considering the historically complicated relationship Yiddish-speaking Jews had with dogs<\/a>, writers of Yiddish children\u2019s plays also brought many objects to life. Not surprisingly, considering the pedagogical aims of many children\u2019s plays, Hebrew letters often sing and dance in a way that encourages young audiences to build productive associations, as in Leah Kapilowitz Hofman<\/a>\u2019s play Der khanike tants<\/a> <\/em>(Hanukkah Dance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this play suggests, quite a few children\u2019s plays were designed to celebrate and teach children about Jewish holidays, including Hanukkah and Purim. While Schaechter-Gottesman\u2019s\u00a0A purim-shpil<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(A Purim Play) is an actual Purim play, including a short rendition of the Book of Esther, her play\u00a0Dreydl-dreykop<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(Dreidel-Head) focuses on a dreidel\u2019s identity crisis without explaining the story of the holiday itself. Schenirer\u2019s\u00a0Khane un ire zibn zin<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(Hannah and her Seven Sons) recounts a story from the Book of Maccabees, although this pious rendition has few of the quirky touches that animate other plays, like\u00a0Esther Schumiatcher<\/a>\u2019s fanciful\u00a0In tol<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(In the Valley). While this batch is in one sense more focused than other PYD installments, it offers many interesting opportunities for comparison, in part because it contains the first example thus far of a play designed for the religious needs of a pious audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I\u2019ve been thinking about Schenirer and Schaechter-Gottesman lately (especially considering Schenirer\u2019s criticism of secular theatre as an entertainment for Jews), it is worth considering the lives and works of the other playwrights represented in this batch. Some, like Khaver-Paver and Hofman, are best known for their works of children\u2019s literature. In fact, Hofman published the first Yiddish-language book of children\u2019s literature in America. Others, like Schumiatcher (the wife of playwright\u00a0Perets Hirshbeyn<\/a>), are better known for their connections to Yiddish literary circles. Children\u2019s literature gives us an opportunity to consider the inventiveness, values, and cultural goals of a group of playwrights who haven\u2019t been featured in other PYD synopses. We invite you to read about their work, and perhaps even direct a\u00a0purim-shpil<\/em>\u00a0or Hanukkkah play of your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
