Summary/Abstract: The Jewish theatre was a modern, secular form of communication, part of a complex multilingual system of communication in a modernizing Jewish society. The article analyzes various manifestations of multilingualism and of crossing language borders in the Jewish theatrical life of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Phenomena of this kind are shown both in relation to the language of performances, as well as professional and amateur circles of Jewish acting companies, audiences, publishing houses and theatre critics.
