SUMMARY:Between Two Worlds Book Discussion: The Zelmenyaners
DESCRIPTION:Moyshe Kulbak’s The Zelmenyaners is many things: a family 
 saga\; a sometimes-earnest\, sometimes-ironic portrait of the formative 
 years of the Soviet Union and the Soviet pioneers\; and a chronicle of 
 modernity’s uneven arrival in Eastern Europe. For the first time\, 
 tramlines\, movie theaters\, and heavy industry begin to appear in the 
 lives of Kulbak’s Jews—but many customs and patterns of Jewish life 
 also begin to disappear. Kulbak\, known primarily as a poet\, is a 
 brilliant storyteller\, and the book manages the delicate act of being both 
 serious and funny.\n\nSpace is open to all who wish to attend. The first 15 
 to register will receive a copy of the book to keep. \n\nThis event is part 
 of Between Two Worlds\, an ongoing series inspired and supported by the 
 Yiddish Book Center. Between Two Worlds is an exploration of memory\, 
 belonging\, language\, and written and oral storytelling\, through the lens 
 of Yiddish culture and the many worlds of Easthampton.
