ABSTRACT In his novella In shtrom (In the Stream), Sh. An-sky depicts the complexities of the 1905 revolution for Jews through representation of the physical spaces of the city, especially the city park that becomes the central location for the workers' organizations. This article investigates how the novella uses representations of the “lived Jewish space” of the city park to further the cause of building a revolutionary Jewish identity grounded in Yiddish culture and the spaces and experiences of eastern Europe. I call this kind of writing “literary do'ikayt” (hereness): a literary manifestation of the Yiddishist and revolutionary politics of the period that sought to build political and cultural identity grounded in lived experience and a relationship to place, while resisting territorial nationalism as a solution to the problems of either Jews or the working classes of other nations. The article also provides historical and scholarly background on the term do'ikayt.

ABSTRACT This article examines debates in Poland since the 1860s concerning Jews’ naming practices and attempts to resolve the practical and social problems they engendered. Polemics within the Jewish press in Poland, particularly in Warsaw’s Yiddish dailies, reveal competing conceptions of what constitutes an authentic and socially appropriate Jewish name. They also reflect changing perceptions of Yiddish, which had left its stamp on the inventory of names used by Ashkenazic Jews, and its growing place in urban life.

Jordan D. Finkin
ABSTRACT The trajectory of Moyshe Kulbak's biography (1896–1937), drawing him from small town to big city, mirrors that of many in his generation. The image of the city in tension with that small town, or rather its replacement – nature – haunts so much of his greatest work. The urban dimension of Kulbak's work is both inescapable and tantalizingly complex. This essay analyzes the first of these works, his long poem “The City” – “one of the most popularly recited poems of its day.” Over four sections – sunset, midnight, predawn, and dawn – the poem follows the city's changes as it passes the overnight into the dawn. Equally dramatic, however, is the overlay of ambivalences toward this inevitable passage, as felt by a young poet drawn toward urban possibilities and revolutionary promise and repulsed by their cruelty. It offers us a distinctive Yiddish lens on a world in which the revolution is a city.
