	Jew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		No new books were added to the Jewish Bible after the Roman period, instead major efforts went into interpreting and developing the Halakhah, or oral law, and writing down these traditions in the Talmud, the key work on the interepretation of Jewish law, written during the first to fifth centuries CE.
		Judaism shares some of the characteristics of a nation, an ethnicity, a religion, and a culture, making the definition of who is a Jew vary slightly depending on whether a religious or national approach to identity is used.
		The patriarch Abraham was a migrant to the land of Canaan from Ur of the Chaldees.

	National Yiddish Book Center - Isaac Bashevis Singer: Collected StoriesLibrary of America, 2004
		One moonless summer evening when the town was as dark as Egypt, Taibele sat with her friends on the bench, telling them a tale she had read in a book bought from a peddler.
		In 1964 he was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters, becoming the only American member to write in a language other than English.
		That irrationality, ingeniously showcased in his fiction, led Isaac Bashevis Singer to end his Nobel acceptance speech by describing Yiddish as the idiom of a “frightened and hopeful humanity,” an idiom that will always be cherished and understood through his work.

	Yiddish is a language that won't be silenced
		On campuses and in communities, klezmer bands have arguably been more influential than any other single force (after Lansky's Book Center) in the Yiddish renaissance, bringing back a true popular culture of the Euro-American Jewish past, the Pale to Miami Beach.
		Several dozen colleges, along with a larger number of Jewish Community Centers and Workmen's Circle branches, have meanwhile been holding Yiddish classes for decades, part of a quiet wave of what has come to be called Jewish secularism or sometimes cultural Judaism.
		Three generations ago, before the Holocaust, Yiddish was the most common tongue of Jews, spoken as a first language across much of Eastern Europe and as an alternative language in so many countries that travelers could find their way through Mexico or Macao, family to family, by employing it fluently.
