Jake Schneider is a Yiddish activist, poet, translator, collagist, and independent researcher. 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 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.
