Yiddish Play "Kraft" ("Power") Director on the Yiddish Voice on Weds June 5 2019
יאַנאַ מאַזורקעוויטש-מייסאַראָש Jana Mazurkiewicz-Meisarosh

(archived show here)

This Wednesday's Yiddish Voice, June 5 2019 at 7:30 PM in Boston, will have an interview with Yiddish theater activist and researcher Jana Mazurkiewicz-Meisarosh (יאַנאַ מאַזורקעוויטש-מייסאַראָש), who is producing and directing the Yiddish-language play Kraft (English translation: Power). Although the play is in Yiddish (with English supertitles), it is not your typical Yiddish-theater fare, but more of a modernistic small-theater experience presented as part of the San Diego International Fringe Festival. The blurb for the play says, "Power is a Yiddish play about civilization and what fuels it." It takes place in a 20th century large American city like New York and concerns American political issues. It was written by a little-known writer, Leah Hoffman, and this Thursday (June 6 2019)'s performance will in fact be its "world premier". Additional info is on Facebook here, and also: to RSVP or ask questions, please e-mail info@yaaana.com or call 619-719-1776.

Jana Mazurkiewicz-Meisarosh is a Ph.D. candidate in the Slavic Department of University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her dissertation research is on Yiddish Theater in Communist Warsaw. Originally from Poland, Jana holds a Master of Arts degree in Polish Philology and Jewish Studies from the University of Wrocław. Jana combines her Yiddish academic research with theater and community activism. Professionally experienced in acting, directing, and playwriting, she wrote the play "Hiltserne Milkhomes" (“Wooden Wars”) in Yiddish and produced it for stage in Ann Arbor in 2013-2014. In October 2017, she moved to San Diego and launched the Yiddish Arts and Academics Association of North America - YAAANA (website: yaaana.org), which has as its goal, Jana has said, "to make Yiddish culture hip, modern, and interesting". Jana is interested in Yiddish both as a stage language and as a means of exploring the current state of Polish-Jewish relationships.

Anna Shternshis
CD: Yiddish Glory

On Wednesday August 8 2018 at 7:30 PM, the Yiddish Voice will feature an interview, in Yiddish, with Anna Shternshis, Associate Professor of Yiddish Studies at University of Toronto. The interview is presented in memory of 12 August 1952, when thirteen Jews were executed in Lubyanka Prison in Moscow, five of them Yiddish writers Peretz Markish, Dovid Hofstein, Itzik Feffer, Leib Kvitko, and Dovid Bergelson.

Dr. Shternshis was executive producer of the recently released CD Yiddish Glory: The Lost Songs of World War II, based on her research on Moisei Beregovsky's archive, which the Soviet authorities confiscated in 1947, arresting Beregovsky a short time later. The Yiddish Glory CD contains songs written in Yiddish by Jews in the Soviet Union during World War II. The CD's songs have music thoughtfully composed by Shternshis's collaborator Psoy Korolenko. There is a large ensemble of talented musicians and singers on the CD as well as high quality English and Russian translations. Dr. Shternsis and Psoy Korolenko have recently toured extensively in the past year in support of the CD, bringing these once-lost songs to an ever widening audience.

For more information on the Yiddish Glory CD: https://www.sixdegreesrecords.com/yiddishglory/

Anna Shternshis is also author of two books, Soviet and Kosher: Jewish Popular Culture in the Soviet Union, 1923 - 1939 (Indiana University Press, 2006) and When Sonia Met Boris: an Oral History of Jewish Life under Stalin (Oxford University Press, 2017).

The interview is conducted by Sholem Beinfeld, a regular contributor to the Yiddish Voice, co-Editor in Chief of the Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary, and Professor of History, Emeritus, Washington University, St. Louis. Dr. Beinfeld served as principal consultant on the film "Partisans of Vilna" (credited as Solon Beinfeld). He was senior consultant and historian to the Kovno Ghetto Exhibition project of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and consultant to the Museum on the Ghetto archive holdings in the Lithuanian State Archives in Vilnius.

Debra Caplan's "Yiddish Empire" Discussed on the Yiddish Voice Wednesday, June 27, 2018

(archived show here)
Author: Debra Caplan
Book: Yiddish Empire

On Wednesday June 27 2018 at 7:30 PM the Yiddish Voice will feature an interview, in Yiddish, with Debra Caplan, author of Yiddish Empire: The Vilna Troupe, Jewish Theater, and the Art of Itinerancy (University of Michigan Press, 2018), which presents the previously little-known history of the once world-renowned Yiddish acting group known as the Vilna Troupe, which existed from 1915 to 1936. From the publisher's description at their website:

Yiddish Empire tells the story of how a group of itinerant Jewish performers became the interwar equivalent of a viral sensation, providing a missing chapter in the history of the modern stage. During World War I, a motley group of teenaged amateurs, impoverished war refugees, and out-of-work Russian actors banded together to revolutionize the Yiddish stage. Achieving a most unlikely success through their productions, the Vilna Troupe (1915-36) would eventually go on to earn the attention of theatergoers around the world. Advancements in modern transportation allowed Yiddish theater artists to reach global audiences, traversing not only cities and districts but also countries and continents. The Vilna Troupe routinely performed in major venues that had never before allowed Jews, let alone Yiddish, upon their stages, and operated across a vast territory, a strategy that enabled them to attract unusually diverse audiences to the Yiddish stage and a precursor to the organizational structures and travel patterns that we see now in contemporary theater. (https://www.press.umich.edu/9533320/yiddish_empire)

Debra Caplan is Assistant Professor of Theatre at Baruch College in Manhattan, where she specializes in Yiddish theater and drama, among other areas. Professor Caplan is a co-founder and co-chair of the Digital Yiddish Theater Project, a web resource on the history of the Yiddish stage (yiddishstage.org). Before joining Baruch College, Caplan earned her PhD at Harvard under Professor Ruth Wisse in 2013, where her research on the Yiddish theater generally and on the Vilna Troupe in particular would provide a strong base for her later book. During this period Yiddish Voice listeners fondly recall her presence in the Boston community, during which she taught and lectured on Yiddish, Yiddish Theater, and related topics in various academic and social contexts, performed music and theatrical works, and produced and directed theater. She appeared on the Yiddish Voice in 2009 to discuss her then major project, co-directing and producing, somewhat miraculously, a revival of Goldfaden's Yiddish operetta Shulamis at Harvard's Agassiz Theater, with dialogue in English translation by Nahma Sandrow, with all songs performed in their original Yiddish.

Borukh Dayen Emes....
Announcement date: June 9, 2017:

Iosif Lakhman z"l 1921 - 2017

Photo: Iosif Lakhman on the Yiddish Voice, WUNR Studios, Boston, Aug. 8, 2012

The "Yiddish Voice" radio program in Boston is extremely saddened to announce that our beloved co-host, Iosif Lakhman, died this past Tuesday morning, June 6, 2017.

Iosif Lakhman, known in Yiddish as Yosef, or often by his nickname Yoske, was born in the Ukrainian shtetl Dinevits in 1921. His father, who had been a Hebrew teacher before the Russian Revolution, later had to make his living on a collective farm. Iosif served in the Soviet Army during World War II, earning the distinction of being one of the liberators of the city of Daugavpils, Latvia, in July 1944.

As a child, he loved Yiddish literature, poetry, and theater. In school, he was given the honor of reciting his own Yiddish poem in front of the great Soviet-Yiddish poet Itsik Feffer. He also once wrote to the great Soviet-Yiddish actor Shloyme Mikhoels, hoping to get involved with the state-sponsored Yiddish theater. Mikhoels answered him, inviting him to join. However, Iosif's father did not want this for his son, and tore the letter up.

After the war, Iosif earned his PhD in economics and had a successful career as an economist in Moscow. When the Stalinist repression of Yiddish language and letters began to loosen in the early 1960's, he participated actively in publications and events, contributing occasionally to Sovetish Heymland, the principal Yiddish literary journal of the Soviet Union.

By the early 1990's Iosif had left Russia and settled in Boston. He attended Bunker Hill Community College, studying English and other subjects. He began a long association of collaboration with his friend, the writer Misha Khazin. They frequently contributed, both together and individually, to various Russian, Yiddish, and English-language publications, most often on matters of Jewish life, politics, and literature.

Iosif began serving as co-host of the "Yiddish Voice" in 2004. For several years, he regularly joined host Mark David, as well as guests, for live Yiddish readings, presentations, and interviews in the studios of WUNR 1600-AM in Boston. In recent years, despite limitations due to health issues and advancing age, he remained actively involved with the radio show until practically his last days.

Besides the Yiddish Voice, Iosif was also quite active in other Yiddish language and culture activities in Boston, serving for years as Yiddish teacher at the Workmen's Circle in Brookline and as a member of the Yiddish Committee of the Boston Workmen's Circle. Over years he mentored and collaborated with many much younger and quite serious Yiddish activists in Boston, notably the Klezmer/Yiddish musician Dena (Dobe) Ressler and the Yiddish translator and teacher Lillian (Leye) Shporer-Leavitt.

Iosif is survived by his wife Ina Lakhman (Diakova), his daughter Zina Lamm, and his granddaughter Anna Lamm.

The funeral is to be held on Sunday, June 11, at 12:30 PM at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel, 1668 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA 02445.

A Shloyshim (memorial) program is planned for the Yiddish Voice and will be announced in the coming weeks.

Sam Kassow's Yiddish Voice Interview Re Who Will Write Our History Weds Apr 25 2018 (archived show here)
Professor Samuel Kassow
Book: Who Will Write Our History by Samuel Kassow

The historian Samuel Kassow will be the featured guest on the Yiddish Voice on April 25 2018 at 7:30 PM discussing his book Who Will Write Our History. The book tells the story of Emanuel Ringelblum and his team of historians who conspired to save a chronicle of life in the Warsaw Ghetto. Ringelblum and his fellow historians were nearly all murdered -- only three survived. Much of their archive was later recovered, and large amounts have been preserved, restored, and transcriptions and translations created from original Yiddish and Polish text sources. Kassow's book gives the reader an appreciation for the human side of the project to create the "Oyneg Shabes Archive", as these ill-fated conspirators code-named it. A new film based on Kassow's book with the same name, by director/producer Roberta Grossman and executive producer Nancy Spielberg, has recently been shown in pre-release versions in Los Angeles and Warsaw, Poland, and is expected to be released sometime in 2018. See the web site whowillwriteourhistory.com for information about the film.

SAMUEL KASSOW is the Charles H. Northam Professor of History at Trinity College, and is recognized as one of the world's leading scholars on the Holocaust and the Jews of Poland. Kassow was born in 1946 in a DP-camp in Stuttgart, Germany and grew up speaking Yiddish. Kassow attended the London School of Economics and Princeton University where he earned a PhD in 1976 with a study about students and professors in Tsarist Russia. He is widely known for his 2007 book Who Will Write Our History? Emanuel Ringelblum, the Warsaw Ghetto, and the Oyneg Shabes Archive (Indiana University Press).

Hasia Segal z"l 1913 - 2017
1913 - 2017

Photo: Hasia Segal in South Florida in February 2009.

We are extremely saddened to announce that Hasia Segal died this past Monday night, January 16, 2017.

Hasia was a co-founder of the Yiddish-language radio show "The Yiddish Voice" (WUNR-1600AM, from 1994 to the present) and its predecessor "The Yiddish Hour" (WBRS-100.1FM, years 1990-1994).

Hasia (whose name you'll also find spelled Chasia, Chassia, or Khasye, and in English as Harriet), was the only child of Fayve (Shrage-Fayve) and Sheyne (Sheyne-Yente) Chernis. She was born in 1913 and was raised in Ponyevezh (Lithuanian: Panevezys), Lithuania, where she graduated the Tarbut Hebrew-language elementary school and Gimnasia Ivrit (Hebrew-language private high school). She then studied biology at the university of Kovne (Lithuanian: Kaunas; Russian: Kovno). In April of 1939, she, her late husband Elye (Eli) Segal of Vilkomir (now: Ukmerge, Lithuania), their infant daughter Ruth, and her parents moved to the United States, joining family that had clustered earlier in Greater Boston. A second daughter, Esther, was born within a few years. Hasia taught Yiddish at the Workmen's Circle school in Dorchester and worked as a Hebrew school teacher at Temple Emeth in Chestnut Hill (Brookline) for 35 years until her retirement. Throughout her years in Boston, she was a leading participant in local Yiddish radio and in Yiddish cultural organizations, in women's and general Zionist groups, and in Jewish and Hebrew education as a professional and as a continuing student herself at Boston Hebrew College. She was a celebrated performer at public events, including PBS's shows "Taste of Passover" and "Taste of Hanukkah," both alongside Theodore Bikel and recorded at the New England Conservatory. She graced the Greater Boston Area and Hyannis (Cape Cod) whenever gatherings of Yiddish and Hebrew speakers took place. And she provided selfless mentorship to younger people researching Yiddish civilization: the language, its arts and its folkways. She moved a few years ago to West Palm Beach where she continued to teach and entertain in retirement communities. Her endless knowledge, prodigious memory, and radiant personality dazzled all with whom she came into contact -- and her sense of humor knocked most people to the floor.

Hasia's funeral will take place on Sunday, January 22, at 10:00 AM at graveside at the Chevra Shas Cemetery off Baker Street in West Roxbury (address: 776 Baker St, Boston, MA 02132).

A Shloyshim memorial program on the Yiddish Voice is planned for Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2017.

The family requests that donations to honor Hasia's memory be sent to the "Yiddish Voice" radio show, of which Hasia was co-founder and co-host. The League for Yiddish, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, has graciously agreed to accept such donations on behalf of the radio program if you send a check (in the memo line please write: "For Yiddish Voice Radio, in memory of Hasia Segal") to the following address:
