Written in Breath: Yiddish Song as Commentary.

Anthony Russell /USA

Language: English

Session:
Yiddish Song presents yet another vibrant, relevant body of Jewish texts with which to engage, celebrate and--of course--argue about the continuities of Jewish spiritual and cultural life.
In this session, Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell leads a lively discussion where classic Jewish texts (Tehilim, Nevi'im and Talmud) are compared and contrasted with Yiddish texts from songs that are performed as a part of the presentation.
