title = "The Times and Toils of Moyshe Hurwitz",
abstract = "The Yiddish playwright and impresario Moyshe Hurwitz (1844–1910) was among the central theatre makers of the Yiddish popular theatre scene. This chapter explores Hurwitz{\textquoteright}s migration, his business initiatives, production activities, theatre writings and influence on the Yiddish popular theatre scene, in order to understand how his theatre created and navigated the formation of a migratory community. As this chapter shows, Hurwitz created performative models that fictionalized the theatre as a home for Jewish migrants and as a mode of participation in community-building processes.",
