Laura Yares

Into reimagining Jewish education...and live near Ann Arbor, MI? Very excited about this lineup, especially presenting with artist Hillel Smith & Yiddish singer Anthony Tzvi Russell in a program exploring how art can challenge cultural assumptions. Free! ssw.umich.edu/assets/rsvp-re…

@redbirdred I’ll take it!

I’ve got a code for the sky place, which I’m enjoying. Dm me if you’d like it.

In advance of my book release tomorrow (squee!) here's a piece for JBC where I spill the beans on how researching this book was a feminist project. jewishbookcouncil.org/pb-daily/jewis…

@jennycaplan Thank you!!

@LauraYares is amazing; run, don't walk to get her book!

New piece in @ConversationUS today, a sneak peak at one of the chapters from my book on Jewish Sunday schools coming in August from @NYUpress. theconversation.com/shavuot-the-je…

Here's a random titbit you didn't know you needed to know: Jews used to write catechisms. All the time. So glad to see article on Jewish catechisms finally out in print - a piece that I started way back back in graduate school: muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/…

The one where I weigh in on audience experiences at @Leopoldstadtbwy and @paradebway jta.org/2023/04/13/opi…

@philissa @sandy__fox Happy to chat!!

@LauraYares @sandy__fox I'd love to learn more!

Saw Leopoldstadt last night and didn't like it. BUT I would definitely read an article/essay about seeing Fiddler in 1964 versus seeing Leopoldstadt in 2023 by someone who had both experiences. All I could think about was what the mostly Jewish audience was thinking/feeling.

The brilliant @shreenaniketa. npr.org/2023/03/11/116…

@AlexisCoe @mikeduncan Who doesn’t love a good yarn about 19th century Jewish education? nyupress.org/9781479822287/…

Do you have a history book coming out in Spring 2023 and beyond? Small following? Small press? Small print run? Not a pres bio, book on Rome or Revolutions? Then drop that title below. @mikeduncan and I want to consider titles we might otherwise miss for our new podcast!
