Cindy's love of Yiddish music and culture began as a child at the Valley Kindershule in the San Fernando Valley.

This past summer Cindy toured Poland, performing six concerts of Yiddish Love Songs with Menachem Mirski and his klezmer band, and presenting Yiddish music workshops at the Krakow Jewish Culture Festival. Cindy's performances blend story and song, and are brimming with a contagious energy that is guaranteed to get everyone singing.
