Mikhl Yashinsky: Di Psure Loyt Khaim

Highlights:



Mikhl Yashinsky discusses his new
Yiddish-language plan די בשׂורה לויט חיים (The Gospel According
to Chaim / Di Psure Loyt Khaim), which is based on the
true-life figure Chaim Einspruch, who translated the New
Testament into Yiddish. When Einspruch tried to publish his
book during the early 1940's, he was refused by every Yiddish
printer, so learned how to do his own printing and published
his work himself in 1941. The play is being performed under the
auspices of New Yiddish Rep and is set to run
through Jan 7, 2024. Tickets and info:
