Luzer Twersky
Luzer Twersky grew up speaking Yiddish in
a Chassidic home in Boro Park but left that life behind as a young
adult, cutting practically all ties with his family and community. He
now works as an actor in film, television, and theater, performing
both in Yiddish- and English-speaking roles. Twersky appears as one of
the three subjects of the documentary One of Us, recently released on
Netflix, which chronicles his and two others' break from Chassidic
life. Currently, he is performing on the Yiddish stage in New York in
the role of Sam Feinschreiber in "Awake and Sing!" (Yiddish title:
"Vakh Oyf Un Zing"), written by Clifford Odets and translated into
Yiddish by Chaver Paver. The play is being presented by the New
Yiddish Rep theater company at New York's 14th Street Y in Union
Square, with performances Wednesday through Sunday until Dec 24.
