"Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner",  by Yael Levine (Jerusalem 
2005, 32 pp.) [=Simchas Torah Song by Rivkah Tiktiner].



Rivkah bat Meir Tiktiner (d. 1605) was the first Jewish woman to 
compose a book, the Yiddish musar work for women "Meineket Rivkah" 
[=Rebeka's Nursemaid]. She also composed a Yiddish song, "Simkhes 
Toyre Lid." The Yiddish version of "Simkhes Toyre Lid" was published 
in a critical edition by Chone Shmeruk, first in an article on Rivkah 
Tiktiner which appeared in 1978, and subsequently in an updated 
version in his book "Sifrut Yiddish be-Polin," published by Magnes 
Press in 1981. In "Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner," the Yiddish 
critical edition by Shmeruk is reproduced, followed by a Hebrew 
translation, carried out in conjunction with Dr. Boris Kotlerman. The 
Yiddish text of "Simkhes Toyre Lid" and its Hebrew translation 
appearing in "Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner," are prefaced 
with a scholarly monograph concerning Tiktiner and her works. The 
findings of this monograph were incorporated into "Jewish Women: A 
Comprehensive Historical Encyclopedia", and were also featured in a 
recent issue of "Et-Mul", published by Yad Ben Zvi.
