considerable experience as a performer
in both Hebrew and Yiddish.
A graduate of Berkley High School,
she went on to the University of
Michigan, where she studied compara-
tive Hebrew and Yiddish literature and
earned a master's degree in Near
Eastern studies.
Mechnikov was assistant director of
the American Technion Society; ran a
start-up publishing business for two
years; and has done Yiddish transla-
tions for the National Center for
Jewish Film and others. For three
years, she ran the Yiddish program at
Brandeis University in Waltham,
Mass.
About three years ago, she married
Russian-born Igor Mechnikov, who's
usually known as Gabe or Gavriel.
When the couple was expecting their
first child, they moved back to
Michigan to be with family.
Daughter Pelli is now 2 years old,
and the Huntington Woods couple is
expecting another baby in December. ❑
