"SOVIET'S CULTURAL EMISSARIES ARRIVE IN TORONTO," Toronto Star. September 3, 1943. Page 4. --- Prof. Solomon Michoels, the Soviet's greatest dramatic actor, and Lieut.-Col. Itzik Felfer, Russian soldier-poet, arrived by plane in Toronto last night for a Jewish anti-Fascist rally in Maple Leaf gardens Sept. 8. They have been received with wide acclaim in the U.S. where they have been spreading the gospel of Anti-Fascism. Prof. Michoels walked with a crutch due to a leg injury caused when a platform collapsed in Chicago under the weight of a welcoming crowd.

The lake scarlets the same instant as the maple. Let others try to say this is not passion.

Personal piece! Email [email protected] for commission inquiries :)

Translation of Yiddish in bottom right: "But if you take an axe to your syllables, your sounds, // I will dance out from their ruins and capture you once more."

Transliteration (may have switched a letter or two: "Nor vesti mit a hak tseshpaltn dayne zilbn, klangen, // Ikh vel fun zay aroystantsn un vel dikh vider fangen."

FEYGELE, 2020.

a sheyd (Jewish demon) inspired by two major stylistic influences, Leonard Baskin & Aubrey Beardsley, and also by the #AugustAdiPOSE & #FatArt hashtags on Twitter. the title/text “feygele” is a Yiddish word meaning “little bird” often used as pejorative slang for a queer person – here also playing off the figure’s size & the bird-like attributes of sheydim in folklore. a queer/trans fat Jewish aspiration!

paired with the poem “sheyd” from my chapbook:

commanded, as you are, to love the stranger,

must you not also be a refuge

to the strangest who reside among you?

call us in from the corners, we little birds

who sing in unfamiliar tongues: our cries

also reach heaven.

though our prayers take different forms

we too are people of the book;

we too keep our covenants, in the 

twilight places where we make our homes.

even as you safeguard yourselves fully against us,

so do you imprison a portion of the soul we share—

let there be spaces in your dwellings and your teachings

for us to come and go in peace.

we bring with us both the fear and the joy you have forgotten:

in the dust, in the ashes of your empires

shall you see our footprints.

The Joys of Yiddish

Mel Bochner

American, b. 1940

2012

Oil and acrylic on canvas

Leo Rosten’s classic 1968 book The Joys of Yiddish is Bochner’s source. Rosten devoted himself to a compilation of Yiddish words that had migrated into American culture. The words are social, personal, disparaging, and funny, often associated with comedy. That many of these words have been anglicised and have entered common usage says a lot about the assimilation of Jews into American society.
