summary

Harkavy is credited for doing “more than any other man for the general education and Americanization of Jewish immigrants in the United States” and for single-handedly turning around the sometime negative American-Jewish attitude toward the Yiddish language. See D. Katz, Alexander Harkavy and his Trilingual Dictionary (1988).
