Yiddish Favorites Old & New

These folk songs represent the lost world of European Jewish life and Yiddish culture and were especially popular in Europe between the two world wars. We'll also sing Yiddish theatre songs, which brought to life the immigrants dreams and difficulties in the new world and nostalgia for their old country. Favorites from Itzik Manger, Mordechai Gebirtig and Molly Picon with new Yiddish folk music by Chava Alberstein and Arkady Gendler.

Everyone receives all the song lyrics in Yiddish transliteration and English translation to sing along with CINDY PALEY and the amazing GOLDEN STATE KLEZMERS.
