The Center for Traditional Music and Dance (the Yiddish Song of the Week’s sponsor) is pleased to announce a new website dedicated to research and pedagogy for the Yiddish folksong tradition. The website Inside the Yiddish Folksong has been created by CTMD in partnership with a project team led by ethnomusicologist Mark Slobin, and includes Michael Alpert, Walter Zev Feldman, Ethel Raim, Josh Waletzky and the Yiddish Song of the Week’s editor, Itzik Gottesman.
