New York-born Yiddish icon Molly Picon, who entertained theater, radio, TV and film audiences for over seven decades, takes the starring role in the 1939 musical film “Mamele” (little mother) in an afternoon screening at
Temple Emanuel of North Jersey on Sunday, June 24, at 2 o’clock. Directed by famed actor-director Joseph Green
and filmed in Poland, the story portrays a dysfunctional family, but has a happy ending. “Mamele” is among the most treasured films in the American-Yiddish genre.
The dialogue and songs are in Yiddish with English subtitles.
