YUDE-LEYB
PERLMAN (b. September 17, 1936)
He was born in the village of Timkovits
(Tsimkavichy), near Minsk, Byelorussia.
He studied in yeshivas. Until
1890 he was a Talmud teacher in Slutsk, Kalvarye (Kalvarija), and
Vilna. He authored ethical religious
texts in Yiddish (signed “Yehude Leyb mi-Vilna), and he translated into a
popular Yiddish: “Seliḥot”
(Penitential prayers), “Kinot” (Dirges), “Hoshanot” (Hosannas), and other
prayers (Vilna, 1889). His Yiddish
prayer book, Minkhes yude (Yehuda’s
prayers), with his own commentaries in Yiddish (published in many editions, the
first in Vilna in 1892), includes a preface by Rabbi Reynes of Lida.
