Biography

In 1898, at the age of 13, Rayz immigrated to New York [3] and adopted the Americanized name Isaac Reiss.[4] Within a few years his work was published widely in the New York Yiddish press, under a variety of pseudonyms, including Rinnalde Rinaldine, Dilensee Mirkarosh, Der Royzenkavalir, Doctor Hotzikl, and, finally, Moishe Nadir.
