But it\u2019s usually associated either with religious texts or \u2013 in its modern form \u2013 with present-day Israel. However, there\u2019s also a European history of modern Hebrew literature. When did this tradition begin, and who was writing in Hebrew?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judith M\u00fcller:<\/strong> Indeed, the history of modern Hebrew literature begins in Europe. It laid the foundation for the Hebrew literature that was later written \u2013 and continues to be written \u2013 in Israel, but it also connects back to the religious text tradition you first mentioned. In the 19th century, Hebrew began to spread as a didactic language of religious renewal, especially through Haskalah, an intellectual movement often referred to \u2013 somewhat simplistically \u2013 as the Jewish Enlightenment, in that it also critically engaged with traditional religious norms. Through Haskalah, there was a fluid transition from educational and manifesto-style texts to journals, verse epics based on religious themes, and eventually the first Hebrew novel by Abraham Mapu, published in the second half of the 19th century. As Hebrew became more widespread, both the language and the literature underwent a process of secularization, leading to modern European-style poems and novels whose themes and concerns were no different from those written in German, French, or English. For a long time, however, access to the language was available only through religious institutions \u2013 i.e. Talmud schools. As a result, most Hebrew writers were men, although not exclusively so. Important female authors from the first half of the 20th century include Dvora Baron and Lea Goldberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What motivated writers to write in Hebrew and not (only) in their native languages? Were their efforts tied to a sense of Jewish nationhood?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, some writers were mainly motivated by the desire to contribute to a national Hebrew literature \u2013 even though the readership was initially very small. As more people began to write in Hebrew, the literature became more diverse, and not all were writing from a Zionist perspective. It\u2019s important to keep in mind that many Jewish writers \u2013 especially those originally from Eastern Europe, who accounted for most Hebrew writers at the time \u2013 were not simply bilingual but often spoke three or four languages. Their mother tongue was usually Yiddish; Hebrew began as a religious language but increasingly opened up new expressive possibilities. In addition, there was at least one national language \u2013 such as Russian. Some writers didn\u2019t feel comfortable enough with this language to write creatively in it or didn\u2019t want to limit themselves to a Russian-speaking audience. Yiddish, on the other hand, carried many negative connotations and was seen by some as a \u201clow\u201d language, so Hebrew emerged as the classical, elevated alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1354\" height=\"938\" src=\"https:\/\/aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/zukunftsarchaeologie-eine-anthologie-hebraeischer-gedichte.jpg\" alt=\"Poem translated by Gundula Schiffer, published in: Gideon Ticotsky and Lina Barouch (eds.), Zukunftsarch\u00e4ologie.

What were your key takeaways?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important insight was that Hebrew literature, across all its entanglements, not only spans multiple epochs and geographic locations, but that it has always been in dialogue with various cultures and traditions. From this, we can draw two further conclusions: First, tradition plays a central role in the emergence and establishment of a new literature. Second, in the case of Hebrew literature, the renewal of the language itself supported this process. During the conference, it became clear that engaging with tradition refers not only to Jewish religious traditions but also to Christian traditions \u2013 as those of the majority society \u2013 as well as classical Greek mythology as part of a general humanistic education. Conference participants also highlighted that the renewal of the language involved critical inquiry as well as the invention of new words \u2013 both developments that predate Zionism. The influence of multiple languages on Hebrew and its speakers \u2013 especially Yiddish \u2013 also needs to be considered. In this sense, the conference made a valuable contribution by bringing together diverse perspectives on the texts and examples presented at Goethe University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why was it important that the conference be held in Frankfurt?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Berlin or Vienna, Frankfurt may not be the first city that comes to mind in the German-speaking world when one thinks of the history of Hebrew literature in Europe. But Goethe University offers exciting research opportunities in this field. Thanks to the Specialized Information Service for Jewish Studies, the university provides access to scholarly literature that is not available in every German-speaking academic library. Moreover, Goethe University\u2019s Judaica collection documents the centuries-old connection between Hebrew and German-speaking Jewry \u2013 far beyond the Enlightenment and emancipation. This was one reason we visited the collection with the conference participants and examined highlights like early Frankfurt-area Haggadahs and Talmud editions, Hebrew journals from the Haskalah period, and even modern Hebrew literary works translated and printed in Frankfurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, we were able to bring together the Department of Jewish Studies and the Buber-Rosenzweig Institute \u2013 part of the Faculty of Protestant Theology \u2013 which strengthened internal university collaboration, even though that wasn\u2019t our main goal at all. Dr. Orel Sharp, who spent two years as a Minerva Fellow at the Department of Jewish Studies and whom I know from our joint doctoral time in Be\u2019er Sheva, and I wanted to make use of the rare opportunity of having two researchers with a focus on modern Hebrew literature at the same university in Europe. Unfortunately, that is not a common occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And beyond the university? Frankfurt and the surrounding region have a strong Jewish history. Were there any connections to Hebrew-language authors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Interestingly, though, for the pre-war period, we know more about Hebrew writers in Bad Homburg than in Frankfurt. For example, future Nobel laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon lived for a time in the spa town and worked closely with Martin Buber during that period. Hayim Nahman Bialik and publisher Shoshana Persitz also spent time there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which Hebrew-language European author should no one miss? And do you have a personal favorite or hidden gem?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because so little of prewar European Hebrew literature has been translated, there\u2019s a lot that readers are missing out on. One hidden gem \u2013 and a personal recommendation \u2013 is Lea Goldberg. Her novel \u201cVerluste\u201d [Losses] was published in 2016 in a German translation by Gundula Schiffer. Some of her poetry has also appeared in German translation. In addition, Yfaat Weiss\u2019 translated monograph traces Goldberg\u2019s academic path \u2013 especially at the University of Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
