Yingele Ringele at the Sea of Reeds (a Yiddish Fantasy Novel)
25 years before Tolkien published Lord of the Rings, Leon Elbe published his classic Yiddish fantasy novel, Yingele Ringele (Lad of the Ring) (1929). We will read a chapter of Elbe’s fantasy masterpiece, in which a little boy with a magic ring travels back through time to escort the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt. We’ll learn about the origins of this novel as a magazine serial for Yiddish-speaking children in 1920s New York City, and we’ll discuss its role within the forgotten history of Yiddish fantasy literature. Participants will gain access to an unpublished English translation of Chapter 12, At the Sea of Reeds, along with a recording of the original Yiddish.The 45-minute presentation will conclude with 15 minutes of questions and answers.
When: Tuesday, April 14th, at 12 p.m. PDT (3 p.m. EDT, 4 p.m. in Europe,10 p.m. in Israel)
