  “Yiddish Today” is a series of video programs that present artists, researchers, and cultural activists from around the world who are creating contemporary Yiddish culture.

  Watch this conversation (in Yiddish) between Eli Benedict and Prof. Sandra Fox,
  Hear about feminism and her podcast “Vaybertaytsh,” Jewish summer camps in America, and about her personal history: her adulthood, how she learned Yiddish, and her contemporary Yiddish roles and activism.

  Sandra Fox is the Goldstein-Goren Visiting Assistant Professor of Hebrew & Judaic Studies at New York University, and director of the Archive of the American Jewish Left in the Digital Age. Her research interests include American Jewish history, the history of youth and childhood, Yiddish culture, and the history of sexuality. Her forthcoming book, The Jews of Summer: Summer Camp and Jewish Culture in Postwar America (Stanford University Press, February 2023) addresses the lived experiences of youth in postwar Jewish summer camps, and the place of intergenerational negotiation in the making of American Jewish culture.

  Sandra received her doctorate from New York University’s joint History and Hebrew Judaic Studies program in 2018. In addition to her research, Sandra is the founder and executive producer of the Yiddish-language podcast Vaybertaytsh: A Feminist Podcast in Yiddish.
