| Â | Yiddish Literature |
 | | Aside from these, Yiddish literature before the 19th century consisted mainly of devotional works designed to make the Jewish religion intelligible to everyone. | | | 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. | | | Hasidism, a popular religious movement opposing official Judaism, helped to give dignity to the Yiddish language and literature. |

| | Yiddish books did not command the same reverence as religious Hebrew texts. | | | Yiddish books of fiction were not written until the late 1800s. | | | Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; you shall not do any work-- you, your son or your daughter, your male or female servant or the stranger within settlements. |

| Â | Yiddish Literature |
| | The killing blow to Yiddish Literature, some say, came on August 12th, 1952, when Stalin ordered a mass execution of almost all the greatest surviving Soviet Yiddish writers. | | | Other early forms of written Yiddi sh include attempts by the Church to proselytize to the Jews in their own language. | | | When the Enlightenment finally came to Eastern Europe, it gave many Jews an avenue to break away from the strict confines of religion and become secular scholars, or m askids. |

| Â | Yiddish Literature - Haym Grade |
| | Perhaps the best example of this Di Aguna, a story about an argument between Rabbis where the obstinance of the older one causes great suffering to both a woman whose husband has vanished, and the younger Rabbi who defends her right to remarry. | | | One of the greatest "modern" Yiddish writers, Haym Grade lived an extremely harsh life. | | | Grade never had any children, and was described by many to be an angry and bitter man. Still, he is unquestionably one of the most respected figures in Yiddish Literature, to such an extent that protests rose up when Isaac Beshevitz-Singer and not Grade won the Nobel Prize in 1978. |
