There is something exhilarating about making a research find\u2014especially when the discovery adds real historical or literary value. That\u2019s what happened recently when a lost piece of Jacob Dinezon\u2019s writing was located in an old Yiddish newspaper available via the Historical Jewish Press<\/a> project, an initiative of the National Library of Israel in partnership with Tel Aviv University.<\/p>\n

My first encounter with this extraordinary resource was in obtaining information about Dinezon\u2019s death<\/a> and funeral<\/a> in the Warsaw Yiddish newspaper,\u00a0Haynt\u00a0<\/em>(Today<\/em>)<\/a>.\u00a0Most of these reports, which were translated into English by Tina Lunson and are now\u00a0online,<\/a>\u00a0were published in late August and early September of 1919.<\/p>\n

This latest discovery was motivated by the Yiddish translator Mindy Liberman who recently completed the first English translation of Jacob Dinezon\u2019s novella, Falik un zayn hoyz<\/em>\u00a0(Falik and His House<\/em>), which was initially published in fifteen installments in the Yiddish newspaper,\u00a0Der fraynd<\/em>\u00a0(The Friend<\/em>)<\/a>, in 1904. These installments were subsequently republished by Akhisefer in Warsaw, Poland, as part of a collection of volumes celebrating Dinezon\u2019s 10th\u00a0yortsayt<\/em>\u00a0(the 10th anniversary of his death) in 1929. Interestingly, the book was titled,\u00a0Falik in zayn hoyz<\/em>\u00a0(Falk in His House<\/em>)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I first met Mindy at a meeting of the\u00a0California Institute for Yiddish Culture and Language<\/a>\u00a0in December 2019, during a commemoration of Dinezon\u2019s 100th\u00a0yortsayt.<\/em>\u00a0After my talk, Mindy approached me and mentioned that she had been translating poems by the Yiddish poet Miriam Ulinover, was enjoying the process, and was interested in continuing her translation efforts with a work of fiction.<\/p>\n

At that time, I told her that I was about to take a break from the Dinezon work but that there was one short Dinezon novel,\u00a0Falik un zayn hoyz<\/em>\u00a0(Falik and His House<\/em>), which had always intrigued me. From what I had read, the plot was most unusual. The story focuses on an old tailor, Falik, whose sons have moved from Eastern Europe to America. The sons want their parents to join them, but Falik, even though his house is falling down around him, doesn\u2019t want to leave the Old Country. According to the Yiddish literary historian Shmuel Rozshanski, \u201cDinezon was possibly the first of the Yiddish writers in Russia to describe this type of Jew who doesn\u2019t want to leave his old home even though he endlessly suffers in it.\u201d (Translation by Miri Koral)<\/p>\n

Mindy and I exchanged email addresses, and a short time later, I sent her a link to an online version of\u00a0Falik un zayn hoyz<\/em><\/a>\u00a0made available by the Yiddish Book Center\u2019s\u00a0Steven Spielberg Digital Yiddish Library.<\/a><\/p>\n

When Mindy read the Yiddish book, she discovered something startling: the final few pages of the story were missing!<\/p>\n

Instead of the end of the story, this notice from the publisher appeared:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mindy’s translation of the notice:<\/p>\n

From the publisher:<\/p>\n

This story \u201cFalik and his House\u201d was once published in \u201cFraynd.\u201d Before his death, Jacob Dinezon heavily revised (literal: improved) it, threw out and added whole pages, and had it typeset in book form. He prepared the proofs himself.<\/p>\n

The story was typeset until the last page, but he did not manage to set the type for the last few lines of the proof sheet.<\/p>\n

We present it as it was left at the hand of the deceased author.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The novella was published without the ending!<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t believe that Dinezon hadn\u2019t written an ending to his story. Certainly,\u00a0Der fraynd<\/em>\u00a0wouldn\u2019t have published fifteen installments without the final words. Why didn\u2019t they just go back to the original newspaper to find the ending?<\/p>\n

Then it occurred to me, the original newspapers were published twenty-five years earlier. At that time, finding an archive of\u00a0Der fraynd,<\/em>\u00a0which stopped publishing in 1913, was probably impossible. So\u00a0Falik\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0publishers did the best they could and printed what they had.<\/p>\n

Today we have resources they couldn\u2019t have even imagined back then, including the aforementioned Historical Jewish Press<\/a>! So I headed online to see if they had issues of Der fraynd<\/em>\u00a0and was delighted to find that they had digital images of the entire run of the newspaper!<\/p>\n

Now, at this point, I have to admit, there was still a problem: I don\u2019t read Yiddish.\u00a0I\u2019ve always had to hire Yiddish translators to read any of Dinezon\u2019s books or the research materials related to his life and times. So I knew there was no way I could read the bold Yiddish headlines on my own. But I did have an image of the title from the book, so in effect, like a computer, I basically relied on image recognition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
By matching the name of the work to that which appeared in the digitized issues of Der Fraynd<\/em>, the author was able to locate the long-lost conclusion to Dinezon’s story<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Starting with Friday, January 1st, 1904, I began scanning through the newspaper, day-by-day and page-by-page.<\/p>\n

The first appearance of\u00a0Falik un zayn hoyz<\/em>\u00a0showed up on January 17th. The page was damaged, and the installment number was missing. There was also a surprise: the title was not\u00a0Falik IN His House<\/em>\u00a0but\u00a0Falik AND His House <\/em>\u2014 which makes sense when you read the story and realize the house is presented as a character who Falik often calls \u201cBrother.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Part one of “Falik un zayn hoyz”, published in the January 17, 1904 issue of Der Fraynd<\/em>.<\/a> From the National Library of Israel Digital Collection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jumping forward a few months from January, I found the installment for Part 13 on May 8th and Part 14 on May 22nd. At the bottom of that installment were the words, \u201cende kumt<\/em>\u201d (\u201cend coming\u201d).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Part 14 of “Falik un zayn hoyz”, published in the May 22, 1904 issue of Der Fraynd<\/em>, concludes with the words “ende kumt<\/em>” (“end coming”).<\/a> From the National Library of Israel Digital Collection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Needless to say, my excitement soared as I thought, \u201cAt last, I\u2019m going to find the final chapter of this story!\u201d<\/p>\n

With renewed energy, I slowly started going through each issue of the newspaper from May 23rd through the end of June, page-by-page, column-by-column. But as hard as I tried, I couldn\u2019t find the missing part. I went back again through the whole lot without success.<\/p>\n

Part 15 was missing.<\/p>\n

Was it possible that Dinezon had never finished the story or that for some reason, the newspaper had never published the final installment? Frustrated and exhausted, I said, \u201cTo hell with it!\u201d and went to bed.<\/p>\n

Getting up the next morning, I just couldn\u2019t let it rest. It just didn\u2019t make sense. How could Dinezon not finish his story, and how could\u00a0Der fraynd<\/em>\u00a0not publish it after promising the installment was forthcoming? It had to be there somewhere!<\/p>\n

So I went back and downloaded twenty-five full-page PDF copies of the newspaper starting from the day after the appearance of Part 14. This way, I could scan through each day in a much more precise manner on my large computer screen.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s how I found it! At the very bottom of page two on June 1st: Part 15 of\u00a0Falik and His House<\/em>! An early 20th-century historical literary discovery made possible by our 21st-century technology.<\/p>\n

Part 15, the lost installment of “Falik un zayn hoyz”, published in the June 1,1904 issue of Der Fraynd<\/em>.<\/a> From the National Library of Israel Digital Collection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mindy Liberman has now completed her translation of Jacob Dinezon\u2019s Falik and His House,<\/em> which includes Dinezon\u2019s long-lost final lines \u2014 an additional four full pages! On April 16th, 2021, Jewish Storyteller Press<\/a> published Dinezon\u2019s novella in its entirety for the very first time in English.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one more thing that was confirmed by scanning through all those online newspapers. It has always been my contention that Jacob Dinezon deserves equal recognition alongside the other prominent Yiddish writers of his day. For Dinezon, 1904 was a banner year. Der fraynd<\/em> published two of his novellas and several of his short stories. Dinezon\u2019s works appeared side-by-side with the works of Sholem Aleichem, I. L. Peretz, Mendele Mocher Sforim, and S. Ansky.<\/p>\n

At that moment in time, Dinezon was easily as well-known and popular as his now more famous colleagues and friends.<\/p>\n
