- Title
Remapping Odessa, Rewriting Cultural History.
- Authors
Zipperstein, Steven J.
- Abstract
The article discusses the cultural life of the Jews in Odessa. It also discusses the more Jewishly stable and traditional setting like Vilna. Vilna remained a source of misgiving as an influential anti-Hasidic stronghold in Hasidic circles, but it is celebrated as an emblem of rabbinic learning and modern Jewish scholarship. Odessa was called by the dean of Russian Jewish historiography, Simon Dubnow, as the least historical of all cities. It also cites the sketch written by Elhonan Levinsky about the wages of cultural space in Jewish Odessa.
