Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
A powerful, funny, moving and important film that follows the legendary Yiddish diva Zypora Spaisman, who is considered by many the woman who has kept Yiddish Theater alive in the US. The film has the last filmed interview with Yiddish superstar Seymour Rechzeit, as well as rare footage of the Second Avenue deli, and it's owner. The film also has amazing footage of the Hebrew actors union, just before all the rare archival footage was discovered and moved out of the rotting basement. This is a masterpiece documentary with footage that will make anyone both laugh and cry in every scene.

| Time OutJoshua RothkopfIf you end up kvelling for these performers, the doc has served its purpose. |
| JWRS. James WeggHowever, whether by design or happy coincidence, several more universal truths lurk tantalizingly in the upper balcony and lift this production from the specific to the universal. |

| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussYiddish Theater is a melancholy work, as well it should be, but it's also almost giddy much of the time with the delight of discovery, preservation and nostalgia. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghKatzir's documentary is as much a labor of love as Spaisman's theater, and it's often rough around the edges. |
| User ReviewStephanie RA terrific documentary that goes right to your heart. It's "raw" in every way: true feelings, true emotions, true hope, true happiness. Highly recommended. |
| User ReviewGlenda Mgreat little documentary! wonderful people in it--I'm so glad the Jewcy website pointed me towards such a splendid event for Thanksgiving in NYC |
