"All night parties with 6000 Jews decked out in literary and artistic costumes, the Shnorer Balls must have been wild. One can only imagine the thousands of partiers cosplaying their favorite characters from literature and the arts all at the behest of the Shnorers." Let's relive this please.

(Hopefully @eddyportnoy.bsky.social will take this as a compliment…) I also talk about 3d visualization, the politics of trash, troubling the Great Men of Yiddish literature narrative, and more. ingeveb.org/blog/yiddish...
