"What happened to #Yiddish #theater, how it came to be, why it faded and how it made a comeback are among the questions explored in “Immigrant Songs: #YiddishTheater and the #American #Jewish Experience,” a #documentary #directed by #JeffJaneczko.
The 46-minute documentary, the first produced by the #MilkenArchive of #JewishMusic (where #Janeczko is a curator), traces the remarkable legacy of Yiddish theater in #America — from its Eastern #European roots to its extraordinary modern revival. The #film blends #archivalfootage, original #music and scholarly insight to bring to life a cultural legacy that continues to resonate today.
You don’t need to be a Yiddish speaker or come from an #Ashkenazi background to appreciate the charm of Yiddish music and theater. The two, in fact, are deeply intertwined and have gone hand in hand since their birth in Eastern Europe."

What a life. What a career. What a legacy. And, he was a grandson of the great #YiddishTheater luminaries Boris and Bessie #Tomashevsky! His memory will indeed be a blessing. #MTT #MichaelTilsonThomas https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/arts/music/michael-tilson-thomas-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.dFA.VFir.KQly1Lt4y93E&smid=nytcore-ios-share
