We’re celebrating three anniversaries! For America's 250th, you’ll hear tributes you haven’t heard, at least not in Yiddish! It’s also 150 years since the birth of the beloved Yiddish poet Avrom Reisen, known for the tender “Afn nil” (On the Nile) and “Borekh ate” (Blessed Are You), the moving “May ko mashme lon” (What Does It Teach Us), the defiant “Zog, maran” (Tell Me, Marrano), and the adorable “A kind a goldene” (A Golden Child). And it’s 125 years since the birth of the equally beloved (but radically different) Yiddish poet Itzik Manger, known for the heartrending “Afn veg shteyt a boym” (On the Road Stands a Tree) and “Di Goldene pave” (The Golden Peacock) and the delightful “Yidl mitn fidl” (Yiddle with His Fiddle) and “Di Megile lider,” a modern retelling of the story of the Megillah.
Supertitles and a program with translations are provided; no knowledge of Yiddish is necessary!
