<div dir="auto">This week <strong>Mr. Robert Sandler's Jewish History class</strong> celebrated the <strong>25th anniversary of the Metropolitan Klezmer</strong> band at the Eldridge Street Synagogue! The octet played exuberant versions of wedding dance, trance, folk, swing, as well as soundtrack material from vintage Yiddish films. The bandleader & historian <strong>Eve Sicular</strong> also taught the class about the thriving Soviet Yiddish culture until Stalin’s purges. </div>
<div dir="auto">The most powerful performance was a rarely heard ballad of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. The students loved it! (photos courtesy of Mr. Sandler)</div>
