		The Background to Establishing the Association By the end of the twentieth century, the traditional Jewish languages spoken during the past millenium by numerous Jewish communities had undergone a marked decline as living natural communal languages.
		In the State of Israel, Modern Hebrew took the place of these languages, assuming the roles of both communal and national tongue not only for the young and the native-born, but for innumerable immigrants -- primary speakers of diasporan Jewish languages who settled in the Jewish homeland in the past half century.
		In the Diaspora, the triumph of secularization and the concomitant spread of general education in Jewish communities, including highly traditional ones, led to the gradual abandonment of Jewish languages and the adoption of the national vernaculars and the modes of speech of the surrounding cultures.

		Today, the field of modern Jewish literature falls into two general camps of scholars: those who study literature in the Jewish languages (Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, Judeo-Persian, etc.), and those who study literature by Jews in the American and European languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, etc.).
		Until now, literary scholars have had little collective opportunity to address modern Jewish literature on its own terms, rather than as a subsidiary part of history or religion, and even less to engage in a comparative study of all the modern Jewish literatures and the various critical approaches that have been applied to them.
		The CAJS seminar for 2004-2005 will bring together scholars of Jewish literature in both the Jewish languages and the “majority” languages for a focused consideration of modern Jewish literature in its entirety and all its methods of study, in the hope of raising new questions and changing the field.
