Episode description
Why do Hasidic Jews (whose native language was Yiddish, and sacred language of prayer and learning – Hebrew) chose to sing some of their most sacred songs in a Slavic dialect? In the new episode of Radio Eshkolot podcast, musicologist Hava Shmulevich and musician Ilya Saitanov discuss the "macaronism" (mixture of languages) in traditional Jewish songs.
Зачем хасидам (родным языком которых был идиш, а языком учености и молитвы – иврит) петь о своих религиозных делах на славянском языке, которого они могли даже не знать? В новом выпуске подкаста Radio Eshkolot музыковед Хава Шмулевич и музыкант Илья Сайтанов рассказывают о макаронизме (смешении языков) в еврейских песнях.
