Isaac Wetzlar’s Call for Reform of Jewish Society and Education
Hosted By: YIVO
YIVO hosts a discussion on Isaac Wetzlar, a Jewish merchant in 18th-century Germany, who wrote a Yiddish letter criticizing Jewish society and proposing educational reforms in Ashkenaz. Wetzlar’s ideas included teaching both Hebrew and Yiddish to both sexes and were inspired by Jewish tradition and the Pietist Christian revival movement.
