There’s a popular post about how Leonard Nimoy went to a Yiddish speaking therapist just to practice the language, but the first time I ever heard him speak it was when I stumbled into the Yiddish Book Center’s Wexler Oral History Project.
This video is just a piece of a nearly 2 hour long video interview that you can find at the Wexler Oral History Project’s website.

If you don’t feel like listening to the whole 2 hours straight, they’ve divided it into bite sized chunks of different interview topics if you scroll down a bit.
It’s a really beautiful story. And language. What a fascinating history.
