The
Bent Tree
This charming fable, presented through Sally
Heckel's sand animation, is based on Itzik
Manger's bittersweet Yiddish folk tune "Oyfn Veg Shteyt A Boym."
The story, sung in Yiddish by Josh Waletzky, tells of a small child whose mother
tries to prevent her from discovering her surroundings and flying like a bird.
For young and old!

TWO FILMS BY JOSH WALETZKY &
BINYUMEN SCHAECHTER
NEW!
When Our Bubbas and Zeydas Were Young
The Schaechter Sisters on Stage
Attracting a new generation to
Yiddish song, the dynamic Schaechter Sisters brings to life the youth of our
grandparents in Eastern Europe, as well as upon arrival in America. Through a
potpourri of characters from the Yiddish songbook, featuring great Yiddish
composers and writers, such as Sholem Aleichem, Itsik Manger and
Mordecai Gebirtig, they inspire us with themes that are universal and
contemporary, such as young love, family relationships and class struggle.
