And a reminder to save the date for the first Midwest Yiddishfest, coming your way November 14-16, 2025! To whet your appetite, here’s the official trailer for the program that will be presented by our featured artists, the Golden Thread Ensemble. Note that most of the personnel in the string section will be different than the folks you see in the video, but expect the same excellence!
