Folksbiene Yiddish Theater concert

A two-hour video production of New York’s Folksbiene Yiddish Theater’s 2003 fundraising concert will be screened in its entirety at Temple Emanuel on Sunday afternoon, February 19, starting at 2:00 o’clock.  Joining comdian Alan King, stage and screen actor Theodore Bikel and the Folksbiene performers are Claire Barry of the famed Barry Sisters and Yiddish performer Fyvush Finkel.  Temple Emanuel’s media archivist, Charlie Sokol, recently acquired and obtained permission from the Folksbiene organization to show the recording, which is not available to the general public. 

The program is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.
