⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookReview "The novel’s power comes from its precision: the daily frictions of a woman whose skill makes her valuable and whose gender makes her dangerous."

"A hundred years ago, there was a saying that you could travel anywhere on the globe and find someone who speaks #Yiddish. Today, there’s been a reversal — Yiddish enthusiasts pick a spot on the map and schlep across the world to find one another.
#BerKotlerman, Yiddish professor at #Israel’s #BarIlan #University, calls these aficionados “#Yiddishhunters,” and last week, from Feb. 9-16, over 70 of them gathered for a free advanced Yiddish Winter School in #ClujNapoca, #Romania, in the #Transylvania region, to immerse themselves in the language and culture they love, with every activity, from tours to lectures, taking place in Yiddish."

A conversation amongst #Kpop fans included this mention of the variety of fans and the importance of inclusivity and mutual respect in the fandom here on Mastodon - qualities sorely lacking in some other Kpop spaces.
Anyway, that part of the conversation reminded me of the history of inclusivity and mutual respect, which in turn set me thinking about religious "toleration" in early modern European history, which in turn reminded me of the Edict of Torda in the Transylvania of 1568:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Torda
I was going to finish there with a pronouncement of "There's a lot more to Transylvania than Dracula!" which is true, but, on reflection, a bad note on which to end because it sounds smug and condescending.
Yes, early modern history is fascinating, anybody who can visit Transylvania should do so, and "toleration" deserves much attention from both a historical and philosophical point of view - but shouldn't I be more alive to today's interest in vampirism and to goth subcultures ? Shouldn't I remember that, in the words of @pixelcats, "all ways of stanning are valid" and that includes the stanning of Transylvania too?
From Kpop to C16 Torda and back again!

A thread of recent #klezmer albums worth checking out –
Zoë Aqua's "In a Sea of Stars" recorded in two Romanian synagogues during a recent tour. Like a fusion of klezmer and Transylvanian fiddle music, the logical result of her several years of field work in the region.

In Transylvania, fear haunts Romania’s troubled democracy.
The birthplace of modern Romania is losing faith in politics 36 years after Communism fell, amid threats of reprisals at Sunday’s bitterly fought election.
