Description

Leonard Wolf is a distinguished novelist and translator of Yiddish books, short stories, and poetry. He has taught courses in New York University’s School of Continuing Education since his retirement from San Francisco State University.     

Itzik Manger (1901–1969) was a Yiddish poet, playwright, prose writer, and essayist, born Isidor Helfer in the multiethnic city of Czernowitz, Ukraine. Yiddish song and a love of literature permeated the Manger home. Sometime after being demobilized following World War I, he moved to Bucharest, where he became a leading spokesman for the Yiddish secular movement in greater Romania, wrote for the local Yiddish press, and did the lecture circuit, speaking on the ballad as well as on Spanish, Romanian, and Gypsy folklore. He lived in Poland, until forced out in 1938; in France, briefly; and then found refuge in England at the start of World War II. He died in Israel in 1969.
