Yiddish
By RABBI SAMUEL SILVER
One of the liveliest corpses
around is the Yiddish language.
Pronounced dead by hundreds,
it is still spoken by hundreds of
thousands, and
not so long ago
2,000 peo p 1«
jammed into a
Nmw York hotel,
to salute the \
One Hundredth
Birthday of the
Yiddish Press in
America.
Good old “mamme loshen,”
which means “mother tongue,”
is still thriving, thanks to the
warmth of the language, its ma
jestic literature, its revival both
in Israel and in the U. S., and
its many injections, such as
Leo Rosten’s book, “The Joys
of Yiddish.”
Chiefly responsible for the
healthiness of Yiddish are two
daily papers in that language:
The Forward and the Day-Morn
ing Journal.
These two dailies are better
than most of the newspapers
published in this country. Some
have said that the U. S. has only
one newspaper, the New York
Times (the others are bulletin
boards). Well, the Forward and
the Day-Journal are in some
ways better than the Times,
because in addition to general
news, they have more column
ists and essayists than the Times,
and they take no back seat to
any writers in the world for
profundity and literary skilL
There are other Yiddish per
iodicals galore in this country.
They add gloriously to the splen
dor of Yiddish literature.
It was Gov. Rockefeller who
pointed out that the Yiddish
papers have outlived Pulitzer
and Hearst. They have also out
lived most of the Scripps-How-
ard papers, and a galaxy of
other dailies in New York City,
which is now down to three.
It is good to know that Yid
dish is alive and healthy. We
join in saluting the Yiddish
press on its first century, and
we hope it’ll enjoy many more.
