THE PRIPETSHIK SINGERS
perform all kinds of Yiddish songs in fresh ways, with choreography, staging
and props. An exciting ensemble of eight native-Yiddish-speaking teens and
children led by musical director Binyumen (Ben) Schaechter, they sing classic
Yiddish songs and traditional English songs in Yiddish. English
translations are always provided. The group, which grew out of the
Pripetshik Shule (a Yiddish Sunday school in New York City) in 1999, has
performed at Lincoln Center and throughout the Northeast United States.
