SUMMARY:YINR - Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies to Bring Dr. Chaya
 Nove via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies (WIJS) at Young Israel
 of New Rochelle is proud to present Dr. Chaya Nove on Tuesday\, November
 18\, 2025 @ 8:15 pm (ET) on Zoom.  Nove will be the second speaker of the
 2025-2026 season in the monthly scholarly programming offered by WIJS at
 YINR.\n\nDr. Nove’s lecture is entitled\, “Between Tradition and Trend:
 Popular Culture and language use among American Hasidim.”  The past
 three decades have seen enormous activity in the realm of Hasidic pop
 culture. Fueled by creative energy and aided by new technologies that have
 made production cheaper and more efficient\, New York Hasidim have produced
 a robust canon of artifacts and expressions for popular consumption
 including theatrical performances\, lyrical music\, literature\, comedy\,
 commercial marketing\, games\, and more—all with Hasidic Yiddish as the
 medium. In these genres\, the tension between traditionalism and modernity
 is apparent\, as mainstream American trends are rendered\, refracted\, and
 refitted onto traditional content to form a distinctive Hasidic
 style.\n\nDr. Chaya Nove is a sociolinguist focusing on variation and
 change in Hasidic Yiddish and its ancestral dialects. She is currently a
 Visiting Research Scholar at Fordham University\, where she is developing a
 social history of New York Hasidic Yiddish. Chaya holds a Ph.D. in
 Linguistics from the Graduate Center at the City University of New York
 (CUNY). Her research has been supported by the Association for Jewish
 Studies\, Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, and American Academy for
 Jewish Research.\n\nAll WIJS programming is open to women and men.  Please
