This unique literary study of Yiddish children's periodicals casts
new light on secular Yiddish schools in America in the first half
of the twentieth century. Rejecting the traditional religious
education of the Talmud Torahs and congregational schools, these
Yiddish schools chose Yiddish itself as the primary conduit of
Jewish identity and culture. Four Yiddish school networks emerged,
which despite their political and ideological differences were all
committed to propagating the Yiddish language, supporting social
justice, and preparing their students for participation in both
Jewish and American culture. Focusing on the Yiddish children's
periodicals produced by the Labor Zionist Farband, the secular
Sholem Aleichem schools, the socialist Workmen's Circle, and the
Ordn schools of the Communist-aligned International Workers Order,
Naomi Kadar shows how secular immigrant Jews sought to pass on
their identity and values as they prepared their youth to become
full-fledged Americans.
