Forverts video series, Yiddish Word of the Day, has 12-year old fan

Ziv Pauli Harlow Siegel (Ziv Peleh, in Hebrew), a 12-year old sixth-grader at the Ramaz School, an Orthodox Jewish day school in Manhattan, has been an avid viewer of the new Forverts video series, “Yiddish Word Of the Day”, even using some of the words and phrases in his own conversations. That’s according to his grandmother and fellow Yiddish Word of the Day viewer, Navah Harlow, who, like her grandson, lives on the Upper West Side.


Navah Harlow, the founding director of the Center for Ethics in Medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center, began teaching Ziv Yiddish words and phrases several years ago, saying he has a facility with languages. “He is great with Hebrew,” she said.
