This short story, titled fear, is from Vilna 1939. Both the english and the yiddish are available to read and to download.
Hey, guys. I'm not learning yiddish, nor am I jewish. But I recently remembered this song, called "Hulyet, hulyet, kinderlekh" (pardon if that's not the correct way to write it) and wanted to share it with you. I really like this version, as it kinda gives goosebumps. I also know the [version by Zupfgeigenhansel](https://y.donttrackme.fossware.space/watch?v=BpUY-SHfli4), too. Good stuff!
Hello all, I thought I'd start a small series of posts titled קלאַנגענפֿילם, meaning a film with sound (a talkie). These will be films in yiddish or containing spoken yiddish. How better to start than with the classic film Uncle Moses, a story of exploitation and unionization. [To quote J. Hoberman:](https://jewishfilm.org/Catalogue/films/unclemoses.htm) "Uncle Moses stands as one of the finest examples of Yiddish cinema and is unique in its portrayal of a despotic Jewish factory boss who takes pleasure in seeing the tables turned by employing the former leaders and highly respected men of his shtetl as sweatshop tailors. Uncle Moses is a harsh man who uses his wealth and power to fight against unionization of his shop (by a young idealistic Jew) and manipulate women, especially the daughters of his workers. -J. Hoberman, Bridge of Light: Yiddish Film Between Two Worlds
