The Roots of Doikayt
- Pacific Time Virtual Program
$18.00
Doikayt, or "hereness" in Yiddish, has recently emerged as a central concept for Jewish critics of Zionism and proponents of Diaspora Nationalism. While many cite its historical importance to the Jewish Labor Bund, the true origins of the term remain widely misunderstood. This online lecture exploring Jewish political history presents new research into the roots of the Bundist ideology. We will propose an alternative origin for doikayt that challenges modern interpretations and forces a rethinking of how the term is used in contemporary Jewish discourse.
Who this is for
- Students of Jewish history and Yiddish culture looking for a deeper dive into Eastern European political movements.
- Activists and scholars interested in the Jewish Labor Bund and the history of Bundism.
- Anyone curious about the concept of Doikayt (Hereness) and its role in Diaspora Nationalism.
- Those interested in the evolution of Jewish political thought and the origins of anti-Zionist frameworks.
What you’ll leave with
- A comprehensive understanding of Doikayt and its original historical context within the Bund.
- New research that challenges common assumptions about the term’s origins.
- A fresh perspective on how Yiddish terminology has been reinterpreted in contemporary Jewish discourse.
- The ability to distinguish between historical Bundist ideology and its modern-day applications.
