培养世俗犹太人：意第绪语学校及其美国儿童期刊，1917-1950年

这种对意第绪语儿童期刊的独特文学研究为20世纪上半叶美国的世俗意第绪语学校带来了新的启示。这些意第绪语学校拒绝接受塔木德托拉和教会学校的传统宗教教育，选择意第绪语本身作为犹太人身份和文化的主要渠道。出现了四个意第绪语学校网络，尽管它们在政治和意识形态上存在差异，但它们都致力于传播意第绪语，支持社会正义，并为学生参与犹太和美国文化做好准备。Naomi Kadar以劳动犹太复国主义者Farband、世俗的Sholem Aleichem学校、社会主义工人圈和共产主义结盟的国际工人秩序的Ordn学校制作的意第绪语儿童期刊为重点，展示了世俗移民犹太人如何在他们的青年准备成为成熟的美国人的过程中，试图传递他们的身份和价值观。
