I grew up in New York City and first learned Yiddish in order to speak to my grandparents in Israel, who spoke no English. Before specializing in Yiddish I also studied Germanic philology, including Old English, Old Norse, Latin etc. I received my doctorate in 2019 from the Jewish Theological Seminary with a dissertation about the YIVO Linguistic Circle and the development of Standard Yiddish. I really learned the language from the years I spent working at the Forverts—the last secular Yiddish newspaper. The former editor-in-chief, Boris Sandler, was an excellent teacher. I am also familiar with Hasidic Yiddish, having lived two years in the Hasidic neighborhood of Boro Park, Brooklyn.

Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching style is flexible depending on the needs of the students.

I enjoyed my first lesson with Leyzer. I had very specific questions and he was patient and explained things well. His knowledge of various Yiddish dialects is impressive. It was also very helpful to understand certain cultural aspects of Yiddish. A groysem shkoyach, Leyzer!

Leyzer is a fantastic tutor. He was punctual and very supportive. He has a thorough understanding of Yiddish, and a wonderful sense of humor. He answered all my questions with alacrity, and made sure I understood the material. I would highly recommend Leyzer to anyone looking to learn Yiddish!
