Rachel Boymvol in the early 1970s

Rachel Boymvol, sometimes spelled Baumwoll (

Odessa - June 16, 2000, Jerusalem) was a Soviet poet, children's book author, and translator who wrote in both Yiddish and Russian.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Because of the popularity of her Soviet children's books, they were translated into multiple languages. After 1971 she emigrated to Israel
and published a number of books of poetry in Yiddish.

Biography

Boymvol was born in

Second Moscow State University; she met her husband, Ziame Telesin, while in Moscow and they were married there.[12][3] After they graduated in 1935 they were sent to work in Minsk, where she quickly became well-known as a children's literature author.[6][2][10]

During

Moshe Kulbak in 1960.[14][4][2] Her dozens of books and pamphlets of Russian-language children's songs and short stories became very popular, with some reaching a circulation of a million copies.[5][3] From 1961 onwards, she became a regular contributor to the Yiddish-language journal Sovyetish Heymland, both in original pieces and in translations of Soviet poetry.[6][15]

Boymvol's son Julius, who was a dissident, applied to emigrate to Israel in 1969.[2] His parents decided to follow him, and in 1971 Rachel was allowed to emigrate to Israel. She left as part of a large wave of Soviet Jewish writers who settled in Jerusalem, which also included Meir Kharats, Yosef Kerler, and Dovid Sfard.[16][17][18] Her husband was able to follow her there during Passover 1972.[12] After arriving there, she lost her main source of income which was writing children's books, and she turned increasingly to publishing books of Yiddish poetry.[4][11] She also continued to publish in Russian, and some of her Yiddish collections were translated into Hebrew during the following decades by Shelomo Even-Shoshan.[6]
