Mordechai Lipson was the pen name of Mordechai Yaborovski (1885-1958), prolific Yiddish author, editor, and translator. He was born in Bialystock and learned in the “kibbutz” of the Chafetz Chaim in Radin. He moved to Antwerp and then the United States where he dedicated himself to editing and writing prolifically for newspapers in both Hebrew and Yiddish. He also started writing for children, as a folklorist. He published many tales with folk lessons and jokes.
