this 1908 #Yiddish song by Hersh Nomberg, Folkspartei activist, writer, and Peretz protégé, still gives goosebumps more than a century later. Sung here by folklorist Ruth Rubin in 1956. "S'loyfn, S'yogn Shvartse Volkn - Dark Clouds Race and Rush."

And I don't remember if I posted this. It has already begun last week, but still interesting to know if you are interested in #yiddish and/or #OralHistory :
"This fall, the Other Music Academy (best known as the organizer of Yiddish Summer Weimar) invites intermediate Yiddish students to join The New Zamlers, a seven-session online workshop that connects Germany and the United States through storytelling. Inspired by the historic zamlers—volunteers who once gathered words, folklore, and everyday accounts for the Yiddish archives—participants will interview each other to collect and present contemporary Yiddish life stories. The course, led by Adrien Smith (University of Texas at Austin) and Jake Schneider (Berlin-based Yiddish activist and poet), combines language practice with oral history training, peer-to-peer interviews, and reading and discussions about present-day Yiddish culture and community.
All sessions will be conducted in Yiddish, appropriate for students who are able (or currently learning) to ask questions and express opinions on familiar topics. Over two months, participants will strengthen their speaking and listening skills, gain hands-on experience with oral history methods, and participate in the creation of new Yiddish narratives. As a final project, students will create short multimedia stories based on their interviews and share them in celebratory “watch parties.” Alongside developing language and research skills, the project offers the chance to build connections with fellow learners across the Atlantic and to think about how Yiddish is lived, reclaimed, and narrated today."

Dimanche 30 novembre - Léa Platini - chants yiddish
"Léa Platini, musicienne, clarinettiste et chanteuse, fondatrice du groupe Les Oreilles d’Aman les stagiaires aborderont un répertoire varié de chansons yiddish, allant du traditionnel au moderne en passant par les nigunim, des chants spirituels sans paroles.
Ces chants seront l’occasion de découvrir ou approfondir la langue yiddish et de s’imprégner de cette culture.
Elle ouvre son champ d’études en allant vers les musiques et danses grecques, roumaines, ainsi que le chant judéo-espagnol.
Actuellement, elle développe toujours davantage ses projets musicaux et pédagogiques, dirige le Marseyer Klezmer Klang (ensemble klezmer amateur de Marseille), chante au sein des Bilbilikas (aux côtés de Françoise Atlan), donne des conférences. Elle se produit avec son groupe Les Oreilles d’Aman, notamment en région PACA, et enseigne à Marseille et au-delà en donnant des stages, master-classes et formations dans divers établissements d’enseignement musical."

– 10h à 17h00 : atelier
– 17h30 – 18h : restitution publique

"A push to revitalise Yiddish and its cultural traditions has gained momentum in Germany, the very place where the Nazi regime's Holocaust sought to eradicate the Jewish communities who spoke it.
Thousands flocked to the city of Weimar for a recent festival that celebrated the linguistic tradition with workshops, cabaret performances and even heart-stopping circus acrobatics.
Musical offerings ranged from traditional klezmer performances on violin and accordion evoking the Central Europe of old to more modern shows, including psychedelic Yiddish rock."
