LET MUSIC BE THE FOOD...
Essen un Zingen
JEWS, FOOD AND SONG
Trivia Maven, collecting Jewish songs about food from the Pale of Settlement to the East End and East Side and beyond, Tony Zendle takes us on an unforgettable trip along those musical memories..
Throughout history music has been used to express our culture, and food has formed an integral part of Jewish Song for centuries
This talk is a compilation of some brilliant and well
loved songs together with how they reflected the values of their era, and how they fitted in to the Jewish Story.
With clips from such artists as Bruce Adler, Debbie Freedman, and Theodore Bikel the talk is a real treat, great fun, and quite instructive. You should listen to this before these songs vanish forever from the Jewish consciousness.
