1. Got fun nekome <\/em>(God of Vengeance<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sholem Asch\u2019s 1906 play features a love affair between Rivke, the pious daughter of a brothel owner, and Manke, a prostitute in the brothel downstairs. The play created controversy for its portrayal of lesbianism, prostitution, and its irreverent attitude towards religion; most famously, the Broadway cast was indicted for obscenity in 1923.\u00a0Got fun nekome<\/em>\u00a0(God of Vengeance<\/em>) also inspired the recent hit play\u00a0Indecent<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(above), by Paula Vogel.\u00a0Read more\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

S. Goldenberg as Morris Green, by Misha Schwartz (Der shpigl<\/em>, Buenos Aires, July 4, 1930).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is the most fascinating gender-bending Yiddish drama you\u2019ve never heard of, starring Samuel Goldenberg as Morris Green, a character with an ambiguous gender and sexuality who is not attracted to women. The play was written by \u201cDr. Charandai,\u201d a (supposed) European author, and freely adapted in Yiddish by Rubin Fridman. Zachary Baker\u2019s exploration of the play and its reception can be founds\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the days of the Broder Singer and early days of the Yiddish theatre, men played all the roles, including female parts, such as in the sketch\u00a0Grandmother and Granddaughter<\/em>. Early \u201cgrandmothers\u201d included Yankev Katsman (opposite Mendl Teplitski as the granddaughter) and Khone Shtrudler (who also played Bobe Yakhne in Goldfaden\u2019s\u00a0Kishefmakherin<\/em>\u00a0[Sorceress<\/em>]). Other examples include Herman Weinberg (pictured), who had a high voice and played female roles such as Brayne in Goldfaden\u2019s\u00a0Shmendrik\u00a0<\/em>in 1884 (pictured with Yoyne Raysman in the title role).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Pepi Littman, \u201cYiddish Drag King\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n

Crowned a \u201cYiddish Drag King<\/a>\u201d by Forverts<\/em> archivist Chana Pollack, Littman was a wildly popular performer whose Hasidic male roles ignited crowds in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She was known for her extraordinarily strong alto voice and her spirited, sometimes vulgar interpretations of songs; she was also one of few women to manage her own troupe in Europe. Early recordings preserve some of her repertoire, and have even inspired modern revivals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Boy roles<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Bessie Thomashefsky as Chantshe in\u00a0Chantshe in Amerika<\/em>.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A la Pepi Littman, the Yiddish stage is replete with women in male drag, perhaps most famously in\u00a0Yidl mitn fidl<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(Yiddle with his Fiddle), the smash film of 1938 mined for queer subtext by\u00a0Eve Sicular (Yiddish Celluloid Closet<\/em>)<\/a>. Molly Picon portrays a young woman who joins a klezmer band in male disguise and falls in love with one of the male members of the band. In another such role,\u00a0Bessie Thomashefsky<\/a>\u00a0portrayed a feminist who dons male clothing in\u00a0Khantshe in Amerike<\/em><\/a>. In a more serious vein, legendary actress\u00a0Bertha Kalich<\/a>\u00a0beat out male competitors to play\u00a0Hamlet<\/a>, in the mold of Sarah Bernhardt, to whom she was often favorably compared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.\u00a0Der dibuk<\/em>\u00a0(The Dybbuk<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n

The Dybbuk<\/em>\u00a0(in Yiddish?) at Neighborhood Playhouse. Billy Rose Theatre Division, New York Public Library.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Gay writer and ethnographer\u00a0Sh. An-sky<\/a>\u00a0drew on his research to create this play, which rocketed the\u00a0Vilner Troupe<\/a>\u00a0to fame in 1922.\u00a0Micha\u0142 Waszy\u0144ski<\/a>, a gay, Jewish convert to Catholicism,\u00a0directed the 1937 film<\/a>. The story concerns two young men who promise their future children to each other (perhaps in lieu of consummating their relationship with each other), but when the destined match is thwarted by the groom\u2019s premature death due to dabbling in kabbalah, the bride becomes possessed by his spirit in the form of a dybbuk. The film includes a homoerotic scene in the mikve and the dance of death choreographed and performed by a wonderfully androgynous\u00a0Judith Berg<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.\u00a0Di khazntes<\/em>\u00a0(Women cantors)<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

Recorded Jewish Sound Archive, Florida Atlantic University,\u00a0https:\/\/rsa.fau.edu\/oysher-family<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Stars such as\u00a0Fraydele Oysher<\/a>\u00a0(pictured above with her daughter, actress and singer\u00a0Marilyn Michaels<\/a>) have long sung and performed cantorial repertoire in male religious wear on stage, appropriating a role Orthodox Judaism prohibits for women. Women also played boy cantors in stage characters expressly developed for this purpose. Female singers also presented cantorial repertoire in concert, radio and commercial recordings at a time before some denominations of Judaism accepted women as cantors.\u00a0Check out<\/a>\u00a0Cantor Arianne Brown\u2019s research on the\u00a0khazntes<\/em>, and listen to\u00a0Perele Feig<\/a>, a member of the Hebrew Actors\u2019 Union known for her striking, androgynous voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mendele Moykher Sforim\u2019s 1878 novel was dramatized by GOSET, the Moscow Yiddish Art Theatre, among others, starring Shloyme Mikhoels as Benjamin and and Benjamin Zuskin as Senderl. Scholars such as\u00a0Warren Hoffman<\/a>\u00a0have noted the homoerotic overtones of their relationship. Senderl is called Senderl the\u00a0yidene<\/em>, a sometimes perjorative term for a Jewish woman or wife). The two leave their wives and set out on an unusual quest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.\u00a0Mitzi Manna<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"
Shane Baker as Mitzi Manna.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mitzi Manna, a drag character created by Yiddish actor\u00a0Shane Baker<\/a>, recites homoerotic poetry and sings a stunning rendition of\u00a0Samet un zayd<\/em>\u00a0(Silk and Satin) in a performance that, according to Yiddish cultural critic\u00a0Rokhl Kafrissen<\/a>, reflects the influence of downtown camp as well as the women of the Yiddish stage. As a fellow out performer, I have\u00a0myself<\/a>\u00a0enjoyed partnering with Baker onstage to perform various scenes including a queer parody of Rubin Doctor\u2019s \u201cIkh bin a border bay mayn vayb<\/a>\u201d (I am a boarder at my wife\u2019s); Doctor\u2019s version was also popularized in recent times by out artist\u00a0Josh Dolgin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. JFREJ Purimshpil: Binary-blurring<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Inspired by Yiddish Purim shpiln<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> JFREJ (Jews for Racial and Economic Justice) presents a colorful annual performance<\/a>, established by queer Yiddish artists extraordinaire Jenny Romaine<\/a> and the late Adrienne Cooper<\/a>. Focusing on contemporary social justice issues, these wildly creative JFREJ Purim spectacles draw on Yiddish language and radical political traditions. Replete with genre- and gender-bending revelry, they are full of \u201cnoisemaking, rule-breaking, binary-blurring and an end to business as usual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I\u2019ll leave you with this clip<\/a> from my Yiddish lesbian torch song, Di bahaltene libe<\/em><\/a> <\/em>(Hidden Love), courtesy of Christa Whitney at the Yiddish Book Center<\/a>, wishing you a<\/em> <\/em>freylekhn<\/em> <\/em>nakhes-khoydesh<\/em> <\/em>(Happy Pride Month)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
