    The Jewish wedding song is really nice to to hear. I love it. But, kinda not easy to sing, i think. :)

    Thank you. "Sister Khaye" was beautiful and heartbreaking.

    Nicely Done. I really like that fun "Romania" clip that your reader sent you. Nice touch adding it to your lens!

    This music makes me sad that I am gentile kid from America - we're so boring.

    Love the taglines, especially the one about counting your teeth after a thief kisses you.

    Fascinating lens. Just finished reading through and I can't wait to listen to some of your music at Amazon. How incredible to translate those stories and poems.

    What a great lens! Very interesting and well done. My grandmother spoke Yiddish fluently, and my mother still knows a bit, so I've picked up a few words here and there. I wish I knew more, just for fun. Well, actually, now that I've read your lens, I do!

    I've always wanted to learn another language and visit Paris. I just finished a book called The Seulchre and it was based in Paris. I found it fascinating. I also find you and your lenses fascinating. You do an excellent job creating them. They're thoughtful and thought provoking. Thanks for the read. Keep on making those excellent lenses.

    My Jewish friends have taught me a few words that have since become part of my own vocabulary. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm featuring your lens of my Squid Angel Diary this week.

    My grandparents always spoke to me in Yiddish, it is really a unique language and alot of Yiddish words have filtered into popular consciousness, though many may not realize it. Great lens!

    Very informative, interesting and well-written lens about a subject I know very little about. Thanks for enlightening me!
