Andersdenken20
Sex and the shtetl | Cantor Sharon Bernstein sits down at the electric piano in a room filled with Jewish academics and Yiddish linguists, and launches into an early 20th-century Yiddish song.
As the first words spill out, the chuckles begin: "I had a sister named Esther, her - was as deep as the Dniester, and when she ...- she'd say, 'fester, fester.'" Bernstein sings in Yiddish, but the cantor at Congregation Sha'ar Zahav in San Francisco translates into English for those not conversant in the mama loshen.
Her spirited performance last Sunday of what was billed as "dirty Yiddish songs" kicked off "Sex and the Shtetl," a three-day exploration of sexual mores and practices in the prewar Yiddish world sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies at Berkeley's Graduate Theological Union.
Life in the shtetl wasn't all Shabbat candles and milking cows, say experts who come from as far away as Boston, London and Jerusalem to discuss cross-dressing in early Yiddish film, baby farms in late 19th-century Vilna and the Freudian underpinnings of Jewish jokes.
"There was a lot of discussion about Jewish sexuality in the late 19th-century Yiddish world," said Donny Inbar, associate director of arts and culture at the Israel Center of the San Francisco Jewish Community Federation.
Many of the songs Bernstein performs come from a collection compiled by Hebrew University folklore specialist Meir Noy, which he took from old Yiddish songbooks and personal interviews. Some of the more "juicy" lyrics were set to traditional learning chants, Bernstein says, adding: "Someone was having a lot of fun with this." (Hat tipp: achgut.com)Read More

"When I say there is no water crisis, you must be wondering, 'Is this guy talking to his hat?'" That's how Asit Biswas led off his speech last month at the 2009 Nobel Conference. And--oddly worded idiom aside--he was right. That's exactly what everyone was thinking.
