Leon Feinberg (February 6, 1897 – January 22, 1969) was a Ukrainian-born Jewish-American Yiddish poet, writer, and journalist.
In the autumn of 1919, he was captured by Anton Denikin's men, who threatened to shoot him, only to be saved by Bialik's intervention on his behalf.
In the 1920s, his poems combined Russian mystic revolutionary strains, American Imagism, and the Yiddish In-Zikh movement, and alternated between warm reminiscences of his pious past and a desire to help the forward march of the future.
His volumes included Groisshtut (Metropolis) in 1928, Likht Un Broit (Light and Bread) in 1931, Khaver Leben (Comrade Life) in 1938, and Die Yorshim Fun Der Erd (The Inheritors of the Earth) in 1941.
[3] Feinberg was awarded the Leib Hoffer Premium from Buenos Aires in 1918 and the Willie and Lisa Shore literary stipend from Mexico in 1968.
Their children were Norman, Professor Gerald Feinberg, Mrs. Ronald Inglehart, Mrs. Daniel Josephson (Rita), and Mrs. Lowell Bonfeld.
