About the author
Jake Schneider is a Yiddish activist, poet, translator, and independent researcher who immigrated to Berlin from New Jersey in 2012. He is the founding gabbai of Berlin’s Yiddish-speaking social club Shmues un Vayn, initiator of the Yiddish Hoyz language immersion program at Yiddish Summer Weimar, co-creator of The New Zamlers with Dr. Adrien Smith, and a member of the group Yiddish.Berlin. He also gives talks about Yiddish culture and walking tours of Berlin’s Jewish immigrant history, partly inspired by the flâneur-poet A.N. Stencl, whose memoirs he is translating as a Fellow of the Yiddish Book Center. Yiddish poems from his manuscript Tsaytzone (Timezone) have appeared in venues such as the Forverts, Afn Shvel, Yiddish branzhe, Yiddishland, and Di goldene pave and have been translated into seven languages. jakeschneider.eu
