To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text to victor.bers at yale.edu as plain text (no HTML, other coding, or attachments) and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ______________________________ From: Amanda Miryem-Khaye Seigel <[email protected]> Date: May 4, 2019 Oy, America! Whether through a lament, a comic quip, or a shout of joy, Yiddish permeates New York City’s extraordinary soundtrack, from the sweatshop to the stage. Each song tells a story – of a homesick worker, a fallen soul, a pioneering artist who dared to dream. Join us for an exuberant exploration of Yiddish song in all of its moods, with laughter, tears, and a few surprises. Translations are provided.
