| | Yiddish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Yiddish was then regarded as the language of "Jewish proletariat"; at the same time, Hebrew was considered a "bourgeois" language and its use was generally discouraged. | | | The late 19th century and early 20th century are widely considered the Golden Age of secular Yiddish literature; this period also coincides with the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language, and the revival of Hebrew literature. | | | However, Yiddish itself is not linguistically related to Hebrew, even though it absorbed thousands of Hebrew and Aramaic terms taken from the Tanakh, Mishna, Talmud, and Jewish tradition. |

| | Yiddish Literature |
| | The leaders of the Haskalah, regarding Yiddish merely as a jargon, preferred Hebrew or the languages of their countries of citizenship. | | | It reflects also the warmth and personal feeling of people who have little contact with the land or with the larger world about them, and whose relationships are mainly with each other and with their God. | | | Aside from these, Yiddish literature before the 19th century consisted mainly of devotional works designed to make the Jewish religion intelligible to everyone. |

| | With the rare exceptions of young Yiddish activists, it is only in certain Orthodox and Hasidic communities that Yiddish remains the language of everyday discourse and is still learned by children. | | | Thus much of the Yiddish material that survives from that period was intended for women or men who lacked fluency in Hebrew. | | | The most comprehensive source for out-or-print Yiddish books is the National Yiddish Book Center. |

| | NYPL, Dorot Jewish Division, Yiddish Theater |
| | Yiddish theaters had existed there since the beginning of the 20th century, but, controlled by mobsters and patronized by the city's rollicking Jewish underworld, they had taken on something of the character of the burlesque house, and, accordingly, they were given a wide berth by members of the respectable Jewish community. | | | Both of the major movements in modern Jewish culture, the Hebrew and Yiddish language revivals, began to build serious momentum in the middle of the 19th century in Russia. | | | It was in New York that Yiddish theater blossomed, reaching the height of its appeal and influence during the last decade of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th, when Jewish immigration was at its peak. |
