"I recently presented a paper on #KhaimZhitlovsky, a major proponent of #secular #Jewish #diaspora nationalism and Jewish nationhood, at the Association for #Canadian #JewishStudies annual conference at #YorkUniversity in #Toronto.

#Zhitlovsky was born in #Ushachi near #Vitebsk in what is now #Belarus in 1865. A leading architect of secular #Jewishculture and thought, he was a central figure in the progressive Jewish intelligentsia of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in #Canada and the #UnitedStates.

At a Jewish International Cultural Conference organized in #Paris in September 1937, the Alveltlekher #Yiddisher Kultur Farband (#YKUF) was founded, and he was one of the supporters. As the honorary president of the YKUF in the #UnitedStates, Zhitlovsky became an icon of the #Yiddishist #Communist movement, particularly in western Canada, where he had inspired the founding of a strong secular #Yiddish school system."

An early and insightful review of Poor Man’s Opera (Galleon Books, 2026) by Dr. Amy Tucker on her substack The Third Shore. Big shout out to Christopher Shoust of Lost Telegram Press, who helped get me this review and is actively looking for others for this book.

Let that sink in. One publisher is helping promote the book of another. That is true outlier community spirit and the rest of the publishing industry at all levels should be taking notes.
