This interdisciplinary volume looks at one of the central cultural
practices within the Jewish experience: translation. With
contributions from literary and cultural scholars, historians, and
scholars of religion, the book considers different aspects of
Jewish translation, starting from the early translations of the
Torah, to the modern Jewish experience of migration, state-building
and life in the Diaspora. The volume addresses the question of how
Jews have used translation to pursue different cultural and
political agendas, such as Jewish nationalism, the development of
Yiddish as a literary language, and the collection of Holocaust
testimonies. It also addresses how non-Jews have translated
elements of the Judaic tradition to create an image of the Other.
Covering a wide span of contexts, including religion, literature,
photography, music and folk practices, and featuring an interview
section with authors and translators, the volume will be of
interest not only to scholars of Jewish studies, translation and
cultural studies, but also a wider interested audience.
