The quest for Jewish assimilation expressed through Yiddishkeit in America

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the notion of Jewish assimilation reflected in the cultural phenomenon of Yiddishkeit. This can be easily mirrored in the notion of Jewish identity, tradition, Judaism and Jewish languages as part of Yiddishkeit in present-day America, which has made it possible for the Jewish diaspora to maintain its significant character in the multicultural United States.
