BERL
VERBLINSKI
He was born in Grodno, Russian
Poland. He published articles and images
in Yugnt-veker (Youth alarm) in
Warsaw (1926-1927). He collected for
YIVO hundreds of Yiddish folksongs and folk tales, popular jokes, folk
remedies, and the like, of which several dozen were published in the YIVO
publication Yidishe folklor (Yiddish
folklore), edited by Y. L. Kahan (Vilna, 1938).
Among the materials salvaged from the Vilna ethnographic commission at
YIVO in New York are several dozen of the folk tales and songs he collected;
two of the tales were republished in the journal Yidisher folklor, brought out by the Y. L. Kahan Folklore Club at YIVO,
January 1954-June 1955. In 1933 he attended
the folklore course, directed by Kahan at YIVO in Vilna.
