This little treasure has great , great powers , and I would say we only have l e a r n t a very, very s m al l part of what it c a n do." ~ Isaac Bashevis Singer A celebration of the great treasure "behind the skull," Yiddish novelist and short-story writer Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904–1991) was born the son of a Hasidic rabbi in Warsaw, Poland, and emigrated to America in 1935. "Sometimes love is stronger than a man's convictions," he once said. An expert on Jewish culture, Singer kept his heritage alive with stories that were first printed in The Jewish Daily Forward . "If I make a mistake about the Jewish law or a street in Warsaw, I get hundreds of letters upbraiding me," Singer explained. Presented the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978, Singer won acclaim for such fiction as The Family Moskat Gimpel the Fool: And Other Stories (1957), and The Manor "Sometimes love is stronger than man's convictions," he believed. His writings captured spiritual truths, folklore, and magical

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991) - pseudonym Warshofsky Polish-born American journalist, novelist, short-story writer, and essayist, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978. Singer's chief subject is the traditional Polish life in various periods of history, largely before the Holocaust. He has especially examined the role of the Jewish faith in the lives of his characters, who are pestered with passions, magic, asceticisms and religious devotion. According to Singer, "A good writer is basically a story-teller, not a scholar or a redeemer of mankind." Isaac Bashevis Singer was born Icek-Hersz Zynger in Leoncin, Poland, as the son of a Hasidic rabbi. When he was four the family moved to Warsaw, where his father supervised a beth din , or rabbinical court. Singer also spent several years in Bilgorai, a traditional Jewish village. He received traditional Jewish education and became acquainted with Jewish law in Hebrew and Aramaic texts. Singer was supposed to became a rabbi himself. In 1920 he entered the Tachkemoni Rabbinical Seminary, but then returned to Bilgoray, where he supported himself by giving Hebrew lessons. "It seems that the analysis of character is the highest human entertainment. And literature does it, unlike gossip, without mentioning real names."

    Extractions: Isaac Bashevis Singer, aka Warshofsky, was born Icek-Hersz Zynger in Poland. His father and grandfather were rabbis, and he was educated at the Warsaw Rabbinical Seminary. In 1935 he emigrated to the United States, and worked as a regular journalist and columnist for the New York paper the Jewish Daily Forward. Although he originally wrote in Hebrew, Isaac Bashevis Singer adopted Yiddish as his medium of expression. 'Yiddish contains vitamins that other languages don't have,' he once said. He personally supervised the translation of his works into English. In 1978 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature 'for his impassioned narrative art which, with roots in Polish-Jewish cultural tradition, brings universal human conditions to life.' His works include 'A Friend of Kafka', 'The Slave', 'The Séance and Other Stories', 'In My Father's Court', 'Short Friday and Other Stories', 'The Manor', 'The Estate', 'The Magician of Lublin', 'A Crown of Feathers and Other Stories', 'Enemies: A Love Story', 'Passions and Other Stories', 'The Family Moskat', 'The Spinoza of Market Street', 'The Certificate', 'Gimpel the Fool and Other Stories', 'Satan in Goray', 'Old Love and Other Stories', 'Shosha', 'A Little Boy in Search of God', 'The Penitent', 'The Image and Other Stories', 'The Death of Methuselah and Other Stories', 'The King of the Fields', 'Scum' and 'Meshugah'. Many of these are published by Penguin, together with his autobiography 'Love and Exile' and a volume entitled 'The Penguin Collected Stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer'.

    Extractions: Isaac Bashevis Singer went to Harvard this week and served up his favorite literary dish, Spinoza with an icing of Yiddish humor. The Polish-born Nobel laureate, who turned 80 in July, seems to have lost none of his mischievous mix of playfulness and high purpose. Speaking before an enthralled audience in Sanders Theatre Monday, he alternated humorous asides about goblins and imps with references to Emmanuel Kant's theory of causality and Spinoza's notion of free will. And he offered some undisguised moralism, even if he claimed only to be quoting a certain rabbi of Lublin no longer around to defend himself. "You are what you act," Singer said, summing up a story of his about an ill-tempered father-in-law who learns that the first step to becoming a better person is not intention but action. "The Almighty does not require good intentions. Deeds are what counts . . . . If you are in despair, act as though you believed. Faith will come afterward." During what was billed as an "Evening with I. B. Singer," the pink- cheeked author read two of his stories, one of them an uproarious, and unpublished, tale about strange doings in a Yiddish newspaper composing room. He also talked about the Talmud, discussed the dybbuks (a kind of demon) responsible for the periodic disappearances of his manuscripts and fountain pens, panned the movie version of his story "Yentl," asserted that the leading cause of death among Yiddish writers was typographical errors and politely but sternly lectured about the need to give one's free will a workout.

Writing in Yiddish (the amalgam of German and Hebrew that was the common language of European Jewry over the past several centuries) all his life, he dealt in mythic and realistic terms with two specific groups of Jews the denizens of the Old World shtetls Singer's writings served as bookends for the Holocaust the destruction of much of European Jewry at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators. On the one hand, he described in novels such as The Manor (1967) and The Estate (1969), set in 19th-century Russia, and The Family Moskat (1950), focused on a Polish-Jewish family between the world wars the world of European Jewry that no longer exists.

    Extractions: Singer, Isaac Bashevis 1904-91, American novelist and short-story writer in the Yiddish language, younger brother of I. J. Singer, b. Poland. He emigrated to the United States in 1935 and worked in New York City as a journalist on the Jewish Daily Forward. In 1943 he became an American citizen. Singer's work, often frankly sexual, draws heavily on Jewish folklore, religion, and mysticism. Though he wrote in Yiddish, he closely supervised the translation of his works into English. In 1978 he won the Nobel Prize for Literature, the first Yiddish-language author to be so honored. Many of his later works treat the loneliness of old age and the sense of alienation produced in Jews by the dissolution of values through assimilation with the Gentile world. His novels include The Family Moskat (tr., 1950), The Manor (tr., 1967), Enemies (tr., 1972), Shasha (tr., 1978)

    Extractions: A short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer Set in 19th Century Poland, " Blood " is the story of Risha Ehrlichman, a rabbi's wife, and a woman who continually breaks one barrier after another in her quest for personal fulfillment. Her ultimate challenge, to God himself, because no mortal seems strong enough to offer a worthy opposition, is both admirable and chilling.

    Extractions: Jewish / Young Adult - (1/2) Singer, Isaac Bashevis. The Golem . New York: Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1982. This book, published in 1982 but is based upon an ancient Jewish fable, originated as a warning to those who would oppose Judaism as a lifestyle in any way. From the traditions of the Masada occupation, the image of the unrelenting Jewish resistance was born. This modern retelling by the 1978 Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer (I.B.S.) is a literary example of interpretation shaped by experience. The author draws upon traditions emanating from the Czech Republic city of Prague. He invokes memories of his own experiences from his birth in 1904 in the village of Radzymin, Poland. I.B.S. later immigrated to the United States in 1935. Reared in a Yiddish-speaking Jewish ghetto, his father was a Hassidic Rabbi, and both of his grandfathers were religious leaders as well. Thus, when a background of moral structure becomes evident within the plots of Singer's writing, it is thought his personal encounters within the Jewish experience are being recounted. I learned of this book in the reference resource Twentieth Century Children's Writers. In researching Singer, I learned how influential this writer has been on the international cultural literary collection. Singer was a Newberry Honor Book Award winner in 1967, 1968, and 1969. Singer was awarded the New York Times Outstanding Book Citation, Horn Book Citation, Parent's Choice Award, as well as the ALA Notable Book Citation for this 1982 book.

    Extractions: Director: Amram Nowak Running Time: 58 minutes More Information Cast Awards Synopsis In 1978, Isaac B. Singer was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He was a gifted writer who had over 40 volumes of short stories, novels, plays and other writings published. Singer once said he viewed himself as a "Yiddish writer." He had left Europe to escape Hitler and arrived in America with almost nothing. Singer wrote for one Yiddish newspaper for more than 40 years, publishing one or two stories or chapters each week in it. His writings include "Enemies, A Love Story" and "Shadows on the Hudson." The latter book involves people anxiously searching for meaning in this world or the next. ~ Elizabeth Smith, All Movie Guide

    Extractions: Essay Questions Isaac Bashevis Singer is hailed as an important fictional chronicler of Jewish life, both contemporary and past, American and European. Critics have discussed his thematic exploration of the dark underside of human passions. His portrayal of human depravity and erotic sexuality has provoked both negative and positive critical responses. Scholars have also discussed his symbolic use of female stock characters, such as "the political radical" and "the cultured intellectual." Singer’s innovative blending of fictional modes, such as the supernatural and the realistic, has intrigued critics, as has his imaginative retelling of historical events. The confessional monologue is the narratorial strategy favored by Singer in many of his works. Isaac Bashevis Singer

    Extractions: (PART 9): ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER Isaac Bashevis Singer lived in a bungalow within walking distance of Wolfie's, on Miami Beach. He knew most of the people in his neighborhood, from New York City. Q: You said that winning the Nobel Prize cut into your time to write. Rather than giving you time to write. It made you be a public person, which was time-consuming. And antithetical to what a writer actually requires. A: That's true. Q: Would you rather have remained obscure? A: No. I wasn't complaining. Just stating a fact. Q: One time I free-lance copy-edited manuscripts for a publisher of scientific monographs and journals. It was piece work. I was paid by the page. It worked out to be around the minimum wage, but I could do as much or as little of it as I wanted, and so it fit in with my writing. Except I'd work on my own writing like a man possessed and put the editing off until the last minute. Then do a slapdash job.

    Extractions: Isaac Bashevis Singer, the beloved Yiddish writer, has long been known for his marvelously insightful tales. In 1978 his gift was publically acknowledged when he won the Nobel Prize for literature. In this unabridged recording of Gimpel the Fool , in English translation, are four of Singer's best loved short stories, Gimpel the Fool, Esther Kreindel the Second, The Spinoza of Market Street and The Black Wedding . These humorous tales are read by Theodore Bikel, who is perhaps best known for his role as Tevya in Fiddler on the Roof . Bikel brings these stories to life with his vivacious, old-world, Eastern European style sounding voice, and the natural rhythm of a born storyteller. Both the stories, and the reading are excellent in their own right, but together, they are stupendous! Esther Kreindel the Second is a supernatural tale, one filled with ghosts and possessions. Esther Kreindel comes back from the dead because her husband will not stop mourning her. She takes over the body of a young girl, Simhala. Esther wants her to go, and take her place with Esther's husband, Reb Tzorik. When her body is possessed, Simhala's body matures to match her new status as a wife and mother. This is a telling story about free will. Is Simhala her own person, or is she controlled by Esther?
