Live from the Yidish-Vokh - Schaechter-Tekhter, Dovid Braun, Christa Whitney, et al

Listen to the Yiddish Voice recorded live at the annual Yiddish
Week (Yidish-Vokh) in Copake, NY, in the foothills of the
Berkshire mountains. There, every year, the organization
Yugntruf - Youth for Yiddish creates summer
colony, where Yiddish-speaking people from all parts of the world
gather each year to enjoy a week of summer vacation entirely in
Yiddish. We played a game show-type game, listened to jokes told
by Ruth Kohn, and heard a musical performance by the famed
Schaechter-Tekhter duo (sisters Reyna and Temma Schaechter),
accompanied on piano by their dad, the highly accomplished
musical director and composer Ben (Binyumen) Schaechter. Guests
on the show, in approximate order of appearance: Eli Grodko,
Dovid Braun, Christa Whitney, Ruth Kohn, Yankl-Peretz Blum, Perl
Teitelbaum, Meylekh Viswanath, Reyna Schaechter, Temma
Schaechter, Binyumen Schaechter (piano), Isaac Bleaman.


In addition, we heard many announcements and well-wishes for the
new year (Rosh Hashona) as well as some holiday music.
