An Afternoon of Yiddish Nostalgia

Bibi’s program  will reflect her love of the Yiddish language through song. She will  pull at your heartstrings with songs of life in the shtetl, songs of  love and suffering,and folk songs that were sung to her as a child. It  is an honor to share such gems and try to inspire the love of Yiddish  music and our rich culture with a wider audience. Lomir Zingn a Yiddish  Lid!
