Event
Hats of Jerusalem playing with Yiddish Aroma
Hats of Jerusalem
Jerusalem is home to peoples of differing faiths and cultural origins. In a city where more heads seem to be more covered than not, a person's hat or other head covering serves to identify not only one's faith but culture and origin as well. "Hats of Jerusalem" explores, in an entertaining manner, those head coverings, such as those worn by Arabs, by Greek and Armenian clergy, and the myriad hats worn by members of Hassidic communities and other ultra-Orthodox Jews.
Yiddish Aroma
A Yiddish theatre troupe in Tel Aviv prepares for a première. "Yiddish Aroma" explores how the troupe's performers and technicians were drawn to Yiddish culture. Some are life-long Yiddish speakers, other non-Yiddish-speaking Israelis, and still others grew up in Yiddish-speaking homes. All have a desire to preserve a language and culture they know is in rapid decline. We see that, in a departure from the past, Yiddish is now received favorably in Israel not only by older people but by youth as well.
