Harvey Spiro is one of the leaders of Yiddish of Greater Washington. Getting him to be recorded was no small task. He sees 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 wherewithal to to. He is also a very respected member of the Yiddish community in the D.C. area.
