Abstract
“Translation matters” looks at the role of translation in Jewish literature from the Talmudic period to the present, focusing on the ongoing effort to make Jewish works available speedily in multiple languages. Chaim Nakhman Bialik, Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, and Robert Alter were important translators of sacred literature. Translingualism is a feature of modern Jewish literature, with examples like Sholem Aleichem, Elias Canetti, and Ariel Dorfman. There are also a number of thinkers like Walter Benjamin and George Steiner, who studied translation as a sine qua non of twentieth-century literature. Modern literature depends on translation to exist.
