Translation - English To Liza
I didn’t write about my
jail delivery, probably because I still
can’t get used to it. I don’t see any need
to postpone my today’s greeting.
I’ll probably choose
some time to write a whole
letter. I already had the intention
several times.
In the meanwhile please accept my regards.
Fire and ice,
flowers and frost,
silver dreams and cold,
surgeon’s knife,
are that features of
a big genius, -
don’t you find them
in your friend?

To my dearest devoted mother
from her daughter who loves her more
than anything in the world
Kiev January 30
1907
Love to the folk, constant
work on his part together
with never weakening energy –
the giant, rampant features of Prof. Gretz -
are the best bridge between us.

Experience
Years of experience: 11. Registered at ProZ.com: Jun 2016.
Professional linguist, PhD candidate in Yiddish lingustics.
I have two years of teaching experience of Yiddish (individual private lessons and a course at National Research University HSE in Moscow)
My Yiddish is not native but near-native: I speak it my family now. I learned with the world's best teachers in Tel Aviv , New York, Vilnius and Paris. I also took part in fieldwork with native Yiddish speakers in Moldova.
I also have experience of transcription, reading handwriting and literary translation of Yiddish sources. I work with English, Russian, German and French
