In August 1908 a few prominent Jews - socialists, liberals, non-political writers and cultural organizers - met in Czernowitz to work out a programme for promoting Yiddish as the official language of Ashkenazic Jews. To celebrate the 90th anniversary of this historic event the University of Oxford European Humanities Research Centre and the Oxford Institute for Yiddish Studies organized 'Yiddish in the Contemporary World' (19-21 April 1998), which reviewed academic work in European, Israeli and North American universities. The present volume of conference papers, by leading Yiddish scholars, provides a remarkable panoramic view of Yiddish at the end of the twentieth century.
