Early life
editKliebard was born in the Bronx on July 24, 1930, the only child of Yetta (Yaskulka) and Morris Kliebard. He graduated from Christopher Columbus High School, thereafter attending City College in New York, where he obtained his A.B. in English and, thereafter, his M.A. After teaching for a year at Bronx Vocational College - the inspiration for the novel and movie Blackboard Jungle - he served in the Army's Medical Corps, returning upon completion of his stint to his prior teaching position. He later worked as a reading specialist for the Nyack Public School System before beginning his doctoral studies at Teacher's College, Columbia University.[1][unreliable source?]
As a child, he studied with world-renowned Yiddishists - a matter of considerable pride.[citation needed] He was an avid collector of antiques, first and foremost, Judaica. Over one hundred pieces of his Judaica collection are currently on long-term loan to the Chazen Museum in Madison, WI.[citation needed]
