20 Jewish Voice & Herald April 27, 2007 Communilv Emanu-El p lans May events in a Yiddish tradition PROVIDENCE - Yiddish music, food, crafts, memorabilia and spirit will infuse this year's annual Temple Emanu-El educa­ tional-musical festival. With Hank Sapoznik featured as speaker and performer, the temple (at 99 Taft Ave.) will offer a full schedule during the weekend of May 4, 5 and 6. On the following Sunday, May 13, the Temple's Benton A. Odessa Memorial Concert will conclude the festival, presenting a musical play, A Yiddishe Miracle. Cantor Brian Mayer, Cantor Joseph Ness and Providence Opera Director Lynn Torgove will sing the leading roles, and Professor Raphael Shargel will narrate. Friday evening, May 4, begins with Shabbat service at 5:45 p.m. At 7 p.m., temple volunteers will serve a dinner of selected central and eastern Eµropean dishes. (Attendance at the dinner requires prior registration and payment. You may request a vegetarian entree at the time of registration.) At 8:15 p.m., diners will remove to the main sanctuary, where interested visitors may join them, to hear the Peter J. and Anna C. Woolf Education Fund lecture, given by the weekend's featured guest, Sapoznik, speaking on "Yiddish: The Future of a Culture with a Past." Sapoznik, the son of Holocaust survivors, grew up speaking Yid­ dish and, as a bluegrass musician seeking his own tradition, unearthed then-forgotten klezmer recordings. He put together his first klezmer band, Kapelye, in 1979, and a few years later founded a sound archive at the YIVO Institute. He established KlezKamp (now in its third decade) to cultivate Yiddish folk arts. He has produced both written and broadcast histories. For this weekend he will bring his banjo and guitar, and his two collaborators in The Youngers Of Zion-Cookie Segelstein on violin and "Doctor" Rubin on string bass and tuba-for a performance on Sunday afternoon. On Saturday, May 5, 9:30 a.m. services will include the Rabbi Morris G. and Rebbitzen Diana Silk memorial lecture, as Sapoznik speaks on "The Yiddish Theater: A Secular Synagogue." A buffet JOB TITLE: HEM-Prov-biz-news kiddush luncheon will follow, featuring another selection of central Pri nting: b/w exporl 4-16-07 and eastern European dishes and another, more informal talk-"Ask Reb Yid: Qyestions and Answers about Yiddish and Its Culture." On Sunday afternoon, May 6, at 2 p.m., members of the congre­ gation will lead workshops in Yiddish arts, including papercutting (open to children as well as adults), traditional songs-and screening of a Yiddish film from the temple collection. Light refreshments will be available at that time. At 3 p.m., the Youngers of Zion will take out their instruments to play Yiddish music-hot fiddle tunes, sweet • ballads, introspective solos and snappy Second-Avenue songs. On Sunday, May 13, at 3 p.m. the Benton A. Odessa Memo­ rial Concert will provide a grand finale to the festival-A Yiddishe CAMPlQ&EN'S POND Miracle, an original story told in song and narrative, following three childhood friends setting out from a Ukraine shtetl early in the last century.

26 Jewish Voice & Herald April 27, 2007 My/)Vnice, Facing West: A short history ofJews in China SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH VOICE & HERALD By Jeff Levinson O f the many hokey Jewish folk songs, "Wherever you go there is always someone Jewish," stands out in my mind as a classic. Not only does it have a catchy tune, but it also reminds us that there are Jews all over the world and that every Friday night we light the Shabbat candles as one people. After I moved to China a year and a half ago, I checked the song lyrics but fo und no mention of C hina. Did L arry M ilder overlook the country with one­ sixth of the world's population? O r is it possible that China doesn't have any Jews? After a bit of searching, it turns out that there is, in fact, a Jewish history in China, and contrary to my expectations, this his­ tory is deeper and richer that I had origi­ nally thought.
