For many years Gella Schweid Fishman taught Yiddish language and culture at all levels, from kindergarten to university, and taught teachers as well. She was a student of Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter's in the Uriel Weinreich Summer Program in Yiddish Language, Literature & Culture. She and her family were neighbors of the Schaechter and Schaechter-Gottesman families for over 30 years, forming a Yiddish community they called "Di Beynbridzhivke." She is the founder and special consultant to the Archive of the Secular Yiddish Schools of North America at Stanford University Libraries.
