From Past to Present, Jews Speak Out In One Voice

“Yiddish song allows us to focus on how Jews lived and created,” Avram Mlotek — who is Zalmen’s son — wrote in The Wall Street Journal. I wanted to know more about how they did so, and what it meant to their time. Hearing their voices mingled with those on the streets of Washington gave me hope. The cycles of Jewish history, despair and uplift continue. When we learn how Jews in the past expressed themselves, we know that present-day and future Jews will also be able to endure.
