Trade Review
“Absolutely enlightening! [This book] will surely establish itself as a landmark edition on the fascinating and complex questions of Jewish languages and cultures in comparative perspective.”—James E. Young, University of Massachusetts–Amherst

“A rich and heartening presentation of some of the best voices on Jewish language—scholarly, poetic, passionate, and learned—and a compelling reminder of the complex range of idioms of Jewish life and thought.—Jonathan Boyarin, Cornell University
