National Yiddish Theatre's Folksbiene! LIVE Features a Living Room Concert With Maida Feingold

National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene continues its virtual entertainment series Folksbiene! LIVE this July with Maida Feingold Living Room Concert on July 22, and Rachel Policar's Lullabies and Love Songs from my Living Room on July 29. And, every week, tune to weekly 15-Minute Yiddish lessons led by Motl Didner on Tuesdays, and weekly Living Room Concerts by Zalmen Mlotek on Thursdays.

Launched in March, Folksbiene! LIVE is an online celebration of Yiddish culture, featuring livestreamed theater, American Jewish performers, concerts, lectures, talks, and other events. Programming provides inspirational and entertaining experiences as cultural and arts venues across the country and world remain closed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

All Folksbiene! LIVE programs are presented at 1:00 PM. Subscribe to Folksbiene's newsletter and catch up on past episodes at nytf.org/live. And, Folksbiene recently launched a user-friendly playlist system at nytf.org/live so audiences can more easily search through more than 20 hours of Yiddish and Jewish-themed programming to entertain themselves this summer.
