One of the pillars of the last regular Yiddish theatre company in
England, at the Grand Palais in Whitechapel, London.
The only British-born member of the last company of Yiddish actors to
perform at the Grand Palaise in Whitechapel. Because he was equally
fluent in both English and Yiddish, many refused to believe he was
actually an "Englander."
His father was a Polish-born tailor who spent most of his life in
England, but never learned to read or write English.
Collaborated with fellow Yiddish actor Harry Ariel on Yiddish parodies
of popular hits such as "My Way" and "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina."
His day job was working for an insurance company.
Possessed a huge repertroire of Yiddish sayings and proverbs.
