Shkoyekh @a_a_viswanath & @yugntruf! We're pretty sure this is the first time we've seen a #Yiddish #kidlit story translated from Faroese (an Old-Norse-based language similar to #Icelandic). The original puffin tale was written & illustrated by Jenny Kjærbo.🐧🥚

Thanks to a grant from the @Wikimedia Foundation, our team just published a new @Wikipedia page for Judeo-Kashani! We hope this research helps to broaden public and scholarly awareness of this #endangered Jewish-Iranian language. Article link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judeo-Kas… @HUCJIR

Baking and sharing food can be a source of comfort during challenging times. We cooked up today's Fun Fact by kneading together information from ANU - Museum of the Jewish People's database of Jewish family names and Alexander Beider's Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names.

One of our guiding themes this year is exploring Jewish languages through literature & narrative arts. So, we were delighted to hear about Dr. @NoraGold's new book "18: Jewish Stories Translated from 18 Languages," out now from @ASP_Boston. Mazels! 👏 academicstudiespress.com/cherry-orchard…
