The UJA Committee for Yiddish is proud to present the launch of On the Waves of Destiny: The Selected Writings of Lili Berger.
This selection of elegant translations introduces the remarkable life and writings of Yiddish novelist, literary critic, and essayist Lili Berger. She wrote about the most transformative and traumatic developments of the 20th century, to which she herself was an eyewitness. Because almost all of her works were written in Yiddish and never before translated into any other language, Lili Berger is little known today. This volume will finally make her work available to a new readership in the English-speaking world and beyond.
The event will feature remarks from the translators and editors. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Light refreshments will be served—kashrut observed.
Please register by September 4, 2025.
For any questions, please email the UJA Committee for Yiddish at yiddish@ujafed.org.
