A film by Nathalie Rossetti and Turi Finocchiaro

Synopsis

Yiddish Soul is a trip to the heart of the rebirth of Yiddish song through the passion of the talented European musicians Karsten Troyke, Shura Lipovsky, and the KlezRoym. Chava Alberstein and Myriam Fuks follow, with emotion, their young emulators’ rovings through various towns in Europe. They transmit the immediate pleasure of Yiddish music through their daily lives and singing tours. Yiddish Soul testifies to the passion that exists between these performers and Yiddish song today.
