New Hebrew Translation of Sholem Asch’s Novel

The publishing house Pardes in Haifa published a new Hebrew translation of Sholom Ash’s novel The Man from Nazareth. This book first appeared in its Yiddish original in 1939 and in Hebrew in 1953, translated by David Stav.

The new translation was made by the literary critic Dr. Bilha Rubinshtein. In recent years, she has been actively translating fiction prose from Yiddish into Hebrew. Besides Sholem Asch (1880-1957), she also translated the works of Isaac Bashevis-Singer (1902-1991), Alter Kacyzne (1885-1941), Kadia Molodowsky (1894-1975) and Zalman Shneour (1887-1959).
