Abstract:The present study offers a focused analysis of the complicated interface of Yiddish and Hebrew in Hasidic preaching and writing, exploring the unique crevasse between written and oral cultures that Hasidism has occupied since the eighteenth century. We argue that scholarship on Hasidism has not fully appreciated the linguistic element of the remarkable success of this socioreligious movement that has shaped the course of Jewish modernity. This lacuna is particularly acute in research dealing with Hasidic sermons and their theological and ideational message. It is our contention that those engaged in the study of the Hasidic homily must not forget that the original moment, transformed only later into a text, was a dramatic oral event that took place in Yiddish. Hasidic literature published in Hebrew is the result of a long process of translation (literal and figurative), a textual artifact whose linguistic form shapes the sermon and its ideational core in a variety of significant ways.

领土和纹理：作为语言和文化十字路口的哈西德布道

摘要：本研究重点分析了哈西德派讲道和写作中意第绪语和希伯来语之间复杂的界面，探索了哈西德派自 18 世纪以来占据的书面和口头文化之间的独特鸿沟。我们认为，关于哈西德主义的学术研究并没有充分认识到这一社会宗教运动取得的巨大成功的语言元素，这种运动塑造了犹太现代性的进程。这种缺陷在处理哈西德布道及其神学和观念信息的研究中尤为严重。我们的论点是，从事哈西德教义研究的人一定不要忘记，最初的时刻，后来才转化为文本，是发生在意第绪语中的戏剧性口头事件。
