Aaron Glanz-Leyeless (18891966) was an American Yiddish poet and essayist. Born in Vloclawek, Poland, he was educated in his father's talmud torah in Lodz, studied literature at the University of London (190508) and, after immigrating to New York in 1909, at Columbia University (191013). He taught at Yiddish schools, lectured on Yiddish literature, edited Yiddish journals, and for more than half-a-century wrote articles on literary, social, and political events for the New York daily Der Tog. His prose appeared primarily under the name, A. Glanz, and his verse under the pseudonym A. Leyeles. In 1919, together with Jacob Glatstein and N.B. Minkoff, he founded the In-Zikh (Introspectivist) movement of Yiddish poetry and the literary organ In Zikh for the propagation of the Inzikhist credo .He held that poetry must always be concrete, the direct or indirect expression of a real experience, in which thought and feeling were intertwined. In the lyrics of Amerike un Ikh ("America and I," 1963), he voiced his faith in the historical ideals of the U.S .Glanz-Leyeles translated works from English, Russian, and Polish into Yiddish, most notably the works of Edgar Allen Poe (Sol Lipzin).OCLC: 19053827.

In Yiddish with English section and title page: Ten years Artef; published for the tenth anniversary of the Artef March 1937. <br> Extensively illustrated publication for the tenth year anniversary of the radical Yiddish theatre company Artef:<br> "the radical Yiddish dramatic troupe based in New York during the heyday of the Yiddish theater in America. Begun in the mid-1920s as a study group of amateur worker-actors at one time there were nine separate studios with over 120 students in the 1930s the troupe went professional putting on at least two and often three new plays per season. With such plays as Jacob Mostel 's Strike Shmuel Godiner 's Jim Kooperkop Avrum Vevioka 's Diamonds and Maxim Gorky 's Egor Bulychev and Dostigaev and Others Artef spread propaganda to the masses. Ideologically Artef was far left; its hope was a Communist society here in America. As a troupe its role was 'agit-prop' to agitate and propagandize to serve as the cultural representative of radical workers. In fact most of its tickets were pre-sold through worker unions and at least in its early years Artef gave presentations at political events.<br> Its first large-scale production was Mass Play and Ballet of the Russian Revolution which appeared at the Lenin memorial celebration in Madison Square Garden on January 21 1928. <br> Artef 's greatest artistic and commercial successes were connected with the talented productions of director Benno Schneider. Schneider who had been active in the Zionist Habima troupe in Moscow wed aesthetic excellence to revolutionary ideology with his interpretation of Aristocrats an adaptation of Sholem Aleichem 's Mentshn. Incidentally Schneider earned such a positive reputation with Artef that he received offers to direct on Broadway a promotion that cost the radical Yiddish theater dearly. <br> The end of the Artef was gradual and its causes were closely associated with the reduced role of Yiddish in American life. But there were bright lights before the darkness. During the 'days of the Popular Front ' when the Communists formed associations with less radical leftist parties the Artef attracted a larger audience which led to an optimistic expansion that later was responsible for huge financial losses. The darkness occurred at the end of the thirties when the number of Yiddish speakers began to diminish. The last performance of the Artef was on July 7 1941." Review by Dr. Brian Horowitz of 'Yiddish Proletarian Theatre: The Art and Politics of the Artef 1925–1940 ' written by Edna Nahshon. <br> Many of the actors and directors in Artef went on to establish solid careers on Broadway Hollywood and for those blacklisted overseas. <br> Bound in brown velour wraps with gilt title.

Title translates as “Yearbook ‘Progress’: A Journal for Literature Science and Criticism.â€<br> “Abraham Reisen was a Yiddish poet short-story writer playwright and editor…While he was still a teenager his talent was recognized by Shalom Aleichem and I.L. Peretz who arranged for the publication of his earliest poems. After some years in Minsk Warsaw Krakow and Berlin he settled permanently in New York in 1914. Influenced by Heinrich Heine whom he translated into Yiddish he was one of the first Yiddish poets to make use of folksong material.

SERIES: Dos Poylishe Yidntum ; ; bd. 70; Variation: Poylishe Yidntum ; ; bd. 70. Born in Warsaw, Shatzky [1893-1956] received his doctorate in 1922 for a dissertation on 19th-century Polish-Jewish history. During World War I he served as an officer in the Polish Legion. From 1913 on he wrote Polish articles and reviews on Jewish literary and historical subjects. He came to write mainly in Yiddish after 1922, the year he settled in the U. S. Where he was one of the founders of the U. S. Section of YIVO. From 1929 until his death he was librarian of the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Shatzky's range was extraordinarily wide: Spinoza, psychiatry, theater, music, folklore, literature, language, and other areas. His principal field, however, was Eastern European Jewish history, and his major work was his history of Warsaw Jewry. He was an indefatigable and often querulous reviewer of scholarly works; the quality and accuracy of his own historical scholarship has often been questioned.
