Excerpt: Isaac Bashevis Singer (Yiddish: ) (November 21, 1902 (see notes below) July 24, 1991) was a Polish-born Jewish American author noted for his short stories. He was one of the leading figures in the Yiddish literary movement, and received the Nobel Prize in literature in 1978. Isaac Bashevis Singer was born in 1902 in Leoncin village near Warsaw, Poland, then part of the Russian Empire.

The often quoted birth date, July 14, 1904 was made up by the author in his youth, most probably to make himself younger to avoid the draft . His father was a Hasidic rabbi and his mother, Bathsheba, was the daughter of the rabbi of Bigoraj. Singer later used her name in his pen name "Bashevis" (Bathsheba's). His elder siblings--brother Israel Joshua Singer (1893-1944) and sister Esther Kreitman (18911954)--were also writers. Esther was the first in the family to write stories. The family moved to the court of the Rabbi of Radzymin in 1907, where his father became head of the Yeshiva. After the Yeshiva building burned down in 1908, the family moved to Krochmalna Street in the Yiddish-speaking poor Jewish quarter of Warsaw, where Singer grew up.
