Yiddish poetry is a literary form that emerged in the 19th century, primarily among Jewish communities in Eastern Europe. It reflects the experiences, struggles, and cultural identity of Yiddish-speaking Jews. The poetry often explores themes of love, loss, and social justice, using the rich and expressive Yiddish language. Prominent poets like Isaac Bashevis Singer and Celia Dropkin contributed significantly to this genre, blending traditional Jewish motifs with modernist influences. Yiddish poetry has played a crucial role in preserving Jewish culture and continues to be celebrated for its emotional depth and linguistic beauty.
