1912–1972

Yehuda (Judd) Leyb Teller was born in Tarnopol, Galicia, and was brought to New York City in 1921.

The most prominent of the “American-born” group of Yiddish modernist poets, Teller abandoned his Yiddish literary ambitions and threw his energies into journalism, Zionism, and Jewish communal affairs.
