Eliezer Steinbarg (Yiddish: אֱליעזֶר שטיינבארג Eliezer Shteynbarg;[1] 2 March 1880 – 27 March 1932) was a Yiddish-school teacher and Yiddish poetic fabulist.
He was born in Lipcani, Bessarabia and became a teacher in Bessarabia and Volhynia. In 1902 he became a poet in Yiddish, but did not have his works published until after his death.[2] He taught Yiddish and Hebrew, wrote and directed children's plays and was an editor of Kultur, a Yiddish arts journal. He became a notable figure in the Yiddish culture of Romania, and his works were widely recited.[3]
His first published work Mesholim, a book of fables, did not appear until shortly after his death, when it became a bestseller.[4] Selected works of Eliezer Steinbarg can be found in the bilingual The Jewish Book of Fables (2003), translated by Curt Leviant.[3] He lies buried in the Jewish cemetery in Chernivtsi. The Eliezer Steinbarg Jewish Cultural Society in Chernivtsi is named after him.[5]
