KHANE-LEYE
(HANNAH-LEAH) KHVIDANSKI (b. 1902)
She was born in Plotel (Plotl,
Plotele), Kovno district, Lithuania. She
was the daughter of a rabbi in Ponevezh.
She was raised in a stringently religious spirit, while also
demonstrating a love for Yiddish literature; from her youth, she wrote poetry
for herself. She published the booklet Gedikhte und aforizmen (Poetry and
aphorisms) (Ponevezh, 1922), 32 pp. In
1925 she moved to New York, married a rabbi, and continued writing poetry—in a
religious spirit, though she did not publish them.
