Yiddish Academy

Yiddishacademy.com was created by Moyshe and Shmelke, two people who are excited about all things Yiddish. Moyshe and Shmelke were friends in Detroit way back when, but they lost touch over the years. They were reunited in Jerusalem where Moyshe had already been teaching Yiddish.

Moyshe is passionate about teaching Yiddish, and was interested in writing up his own Yiddish text. When he told his plans to Shmelke, Shmelke suggested an online Yiddish course, as it could reach more people than a book. Shmelke's own interest in learning Yiddish himself gave them both the impetus to embark on the journey that spawned Yiddish Academy.com!
