Yiddish Lives

Harvey Spiro is one of the leaders of Yiddish of Greater Washington. Getting him to be recorded was no small task. He seems himself more as an organizer and a student. And yet, there’s a lot to learn from talking with Harvey. He represents some of the next generation Yiddish preservers and organizers. He’s dedicated a lot of time and energy to learning Yiddish properly, which is something few people have the wherewithall to to. He is also a very respected member of the Yiddish community in the D.C. area.
