Abstract
- The article offers criticism on the poetry of Yiddish poet Moyshe Kulbak, including the poetry collection "Naye lider" ("New Poems") and the prose-poetry work "Meshiekh ben efrayim" ("Messiah Son of Ephraim"). The author discusses Kulbak's time in exile in Weimar-era Berlin, Germany in the 1920s after leaving the Soviet Union and describes how the exposure to literature and philosophy in Berlin led to a transition in Yiddish literature and Yiddish contributions to modernism.
