I translate scholarly and literary texts, plan and participate in cultural events, write Yiddish poems and English essays, and organize events and projects related to Yiddish culture and history.
I have been working as a freelance translator since 2012, mostly from German to English.
Join me at twilight for an unusual walk exploring the history of Yiddish-speaking immigrants and refugees in Berlin, featuring Yiddish music from the neighborhood and plenty of family stories.
This year the tour has been featured as part of the fantastic Shtetl Berlin festival of Yiddish music and culture in late April.
The Yiddish social club I coordinate, “Shmues un Vayn,” was recently the subject of an article in the Forward headlined “You can now hear people speaking Yiddish in bars all over Berlin.”
