For more information: https://www.yivo.org/Reclaiming-the-Cultural-and-Musical-Heritage-of-the-Karliner-Hasidim Topic: Reclaiming the Cultural and Musical Heritage of the Karliner Hasidim Presenter: Professor Yitzhak Melamed, Johns Hopkins University RSVP REQUIRED: [email protected] or 212-294-6143 During the Holocaust the vast majority (about 95%) of the Karliner hasidic community and its leadership was exterminated. Over the past half century the community has been reestablished and it is currently searching for its plundered and lost cultural heritage. Professor Yitzhak Y. Melamed (Johns Hopkins University) will provide an overview of the current state of this search, its surprising successes, as well as some of its challenges. Melamed will also focus on the rare manuscripts of the Karlin-Stolin Archive from the 18th through 20th centuries, and on the Karliner musical legacy. The YIVO Archives is one of the few repositories to hold manuscripts as well as original music of the Karlin-Stolin heritage. Live samples of Karliner music will be provided by violinist Jonathan Rothman.
