Dear Safranim, You are cordially invited:
Monday, November 25th, 6PM Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series David Assaf, Tel Aviv University - Fordham/NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies ‘To My Beloved Teacher in Eretz Israel’: Childhood, Diaspora, and Zionism in Letters Written by Hebrew School Pupils in Interwar Poland David Assaf will discuss a treasure trove of some ninety letters written in 1935 by Polish Jewish children (age 12-13) who studied in the Tarbut school north of Warsaw to their teacher who immigrated to Palestine. These moving letters of elementary school pupils (not young adults like those who participated in YIVO competitions for autobiographies) offer a very rare glimpse into childhood of Jewish children in interwar Poland.
