Jonah Lubin

Wow, welcome to Jonah Lubin's personal site.

I'm doing a PhD in CompLit at Harvard, where I'm focusing on Yiddish literature and digital humanities.

I write about and translate literature. Recently, I've been interested in developing computational methods for the study of Yiddish. My primary digital humanities project at the moment is iberz.org , a database of translations into Yiddish. Below is stuff I've done recently. Click the headings for more.
