Dear Safranim, I'm posting the following announcement on behalf of Stephanie Vevers and the organizers of A Kholem/Dreaming in Yiddish - a tribute to Adrienne Cooper that will take place Saturday night, December 22, in New York. Some of you may have had the privilege of working with Adrienne, a gifted Yiddish singer and educator who inspired people worldwide. Her untimely passing last year at this time left a deep wound in the Yiddish cultural world. Please see below for details about the tribute to her life and work.
