A Bis'l Zun - Yiddish Theatre Concert with Cantor Michael Smolash

I mentioned recently that Yiddish Gothic cabaret musician Daniel Kahn will be playing locally in a couple of weeks. His concert is being organized by Cantor Michael Smolash of Temple Israel, in West Bloomfield, MI. Smolash loves Yiddish and is one of many (Hi Lori) currently working hard on maintaining and reviving the language.

In addition to organizing concerts for other Yiddish musicians, Smolash recently gave a concert of his own. Supported by Cantorial Soloists Aviva Chernick and Neil Michaels, his show, A Bis'l Zun, is classic American Yiddish Theater - the Catskills come to the North Coast. I missed the show, but I've been listening to this video sampler all week. Good fun.

If you enjoyed the video, you can nab a full DVD from Temple Israel. The $$ goes to a good cause, Temple Israel religious school scholarships for needy families.
