My name is Elena Luchina. I am an expert in Yiddish. I had a chance to learn Yiddish with the world’s best teachers in Israel, US, France, Lithuania and Russia, I spoke Yiddish to my friends, my partner and on my workplace.

I provide help to discover the treasures of Yiddish culture and connect to a warm Yiddish-speaking community – what I call building a bridge to your Yiddish identity.

My individual classes are tailored just for you, according to you needs, on Skype, to pack in any busy schedule, and effective – because they are professional.
