Yekhiel Shraybman

Yekhiel Shraybman (1913–2005) has been lauded as one of the Yiddish language’s most creative stylists. Infused with the kolorit, or exuberance, of his native Moldova, his works depict the everyday lives of the region’s Jews in rich, captivating detail. Shraybman received numerous awards over the course of his lifetime from literary institutions in Israel, Sweden, the United States, Moldova, and elsewhere. To date, thirteen collections of his work have been published.
