Go Forth O Daughters: Reclaiming the Yiddish “Women’s Bible” in Art

JL;DR SUMMARY Artist Danielle Alhassid's "Go Forth O Daughters" is an innovative art project exploring the Tsenerene, the Yiddish Women's Bible, integrating historical texts and modern stop-motion animation.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
