Hilda Rubin has, to date, been the most helpful advocate YiddishLives has had. She put us in touch with a huge array of very wonderful Yiddish speakers in the Maryland/D.C. area. We owe her a huge debt of thanks.
She is also, herself, a walking history book of Yiddish in the U.S. with vast knowledge of the Coops, Yiddishists, theatre folks, actors, singers, and on and on. We were very lucky to get these recordings.
