	Bernstein's Studio - Dybbuk - Dybbuk
		Ansky — or S. An-Sky — the pseudonym of Solomon Zainwill Rapaport, author and folklorist (1963-1920) — was born in Chashnik, White Russia.
		The story of Ansky’s play is about two young lovers secretly pledged to each other before birth by the oath of their fathers.
		Ansky’s play, which has become an international classic, was first produced in Yiddish by the Vilna troupe in 1920 and then, in the Hebrew translation of Bialik, by the Habimah company in Moscow, Tel Aviv, and New York.

	All About Jewish Theatre - S.Ansky (1863-1920) The great builder of modern Jewish culture.
		Ansky was born during the late stages of the Jewish enlightenment (Haskalah), and at the beginning of the wave of virulent anti-semitism and pogroms that spawned Zionism in Europe and Russia.
		Born Shloyme-Zanvl ben Aaron Hacohen Rappoport in 1863, Ansky was reputed to be a Talmud prodigy in his hometown of Vitebsk, then part of the Russian Pale of Settlement (now in modern-day Belarus).[1] The town was the center of Habad Hasidism, and also contained formidable representatives of traditional rabbinic Judaism.
		In 1917, Ansky was elected to the All-Russian Constituent Assembly as a Social-Revolutionary deputy.

		In late 1914, S. Ansky, the influential Jewish-Russian journalist, playwright, and politician, received a commission: to organize desperately needed relief for Jews on the borderlands, caught between the warring armies of Russia, Germany, and the Austrian Empire.
		In daily accounts, Ansky details his struggles: to raise funds; to lobby and bribe at the czar's court; and to procure and transport food, medicine, and money to the ravaged Jewish towns, which, in the course of the war, were conquered and reconquered by Cossacks, Germans, Polish mercenaries, and Russian revolutionaries.
		Ansky depicts scenes of devastation - convoys of refugees, towns looted and burned to the ground, villagers taken hostage and raped, prey to all comers.

	"Ansky, Pushkin’s Nanny and the Revival Of Jewish Life in St. Petersburg - Forward.com"
		By the same token, Ansky urged the members of the thoroughly acculturated St. Petersburg Jewish elite to “import” a Yiddish-speaking nanny from the Ukrainian outback.
		Once so redolent of Jewish and mystical lore, these were the very towns and townlets that Ansky and his team had mined for their folk tales, folk songs, Purim plays, folk beliefs, manuscripts and material culture.
		By interviewing local Ukrainians and Jews, by studying the surviving tombstones and synagogue ruins, by mapping the topography, by literally leaving no stone unturned, these young university graduates from Leningrad (as St. Petersburg was then known) began piecing together the history, architecture and ethnography of town after town after town.

	The Dybbuk and Other Writings by S. Ansky by : Book
		In The Dybbuk, a drama of mystical passion and demonic possession, S. Ansky (1863-1920) brings together the saga of his own youthful rebellion against religious authority, his abiding faith in the power of the simple folk, his utopian struggle for equality, and his newfound commitment to the Jewish people.
		Anksy had just returned from an epoch-making ethnographic expedition through the Yiddish heartland of Eastern Europe, and what he found in the towns and townlets of the Ukraine was a religious civilization that mediated the living and the dead, the strong and the weak, the natural and the supernatural.
		In his introduction to this volume, David G. Roskies reveals that Ansky's return to Mother Russia was accompanied by a profound renegotiation with his hasidic heritage, the Yiddish language, and the Jewish historical imagination.

		Ansky was a Jewish ethnographer who traveled through the Russian countryside, collecting folktales and bubbe mayses (old wives' tales).
		He was particularly taken with the theme of the dybbuk, an (often male) malignant spirit that possesses the body of a (usually female) innocent person, speaking through that person's mouth until exorcized through incantations and blowing of the shofar (ram's horn).
		Ansky added a twist to the classic dybbuk plot, turning it into a supernatural love story between a living girl and her dead fiancé.

	National Yiddish Book Center - The Dybbuk by S. Ansky
		The haunting image of the dybbuk — a dead soul that takes possession of a living body to right an injustice suffered during its lifetime — is a staple of Jewish fiction and folklore.
		Ansky’s play immortalizes this legendary figure, and has served as the basis for theatrical and film productions that have enchanted audiences from early in this century to the present day.
		One can love his play, The Dybbuk, for its rich associations with Yiddish theater or for its intense romanticism; for its historical value or for its evocation of the rabbinic courts of the old world; or as a meditation on love, as a small window into kabbala or just because it’s spooky and exciting.

		In truth, it was the mandate of this original vision that steeled the brave archivists of the Holocaust, because Dubnov had succeeded in making the collection of the diverse records of the Jewish experience a force in reconfiguring Jewish identity.
		Under his enormous influence, S. Ansky, the author of The Dybbuk, launched the Jewish Ethnographic Expedition in 1912 into Ukraine, which over two years yielded a treasure trove of photos, folktales, music, manuscripts, and art objects, only to be embargoed by the Soviets for seventy-five years.
		In 1914, with the outbreak of the war, Ansky finagled his way into Galicia to alleviate and record the untold suffering of the nearly one million Jews trapped between the Russian and Austrian armies.

		Back in the 1980s, they called themselves “Kulturniks” (as distinct from “Refuseniks,” those who risked all to immigrate to Israel), and their formative group activities were expeditions during the summer months to former shtetls in Ukraine.

Their arms link, their feet bounce on crossed ankles, their arms reach skyward, two fingers pointing to the Holy One.
