Behrman House Blog

Behrman House has fed me well. From my first summer as an intern in 2004 to this year as an editor, I'm pretty sure that I have eaten 25+ meals on Behrman House's tab-not to mention the countless number of ice cream cones, slices of chocolate cake, and donuts that make their way into the kitchen. (For those who don't know, the Behrman House customer support and editorial staff are self-identified foodies. And, Behrman House generously supports our cause). This Friday marks my official transition from Behrman House editor to full-time graduate student in the field of Yiddish literature. On Sunday, I'll be flying to Tel Aviv to take part in a ten-day Yiddish research seminar for beginning graduate students hosted by the Goldreich Institute for Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture at Tel Aviv University. Come fall, I'll be starting my doctoral courses at Harvard where I?ll be studying under Professor Ruth Wisse (who also happens to be a Behrman House author). Before I head out, I want to say thank you to Behrman House for providing me with all types of sustenance-both literal and professional. Whether working on early childhood material for the Look at Me series, or writing activities for the Teach Me Torah Teaching Guide (coming July 15th!), I've come to rely on the constructive comments, thoughtful feedback, and open ears of my colleagues. I will miss them. Have a wonderful summer, Sunny
