Jewish Musical Theater "Firelech" 20th Anniversary Concert

A "firelech" is a "spark" which describes the Firelech group."Firelech" roots come from another Jewish Group with the same name. In Vilnius (Lithuania) in 1971 a group of people organized a Jewish ensemble of music and dance, which was called "Firelech". That ensemble became well known in the former Soviet Union and around the world.Firelech theatre was born in September 2000 when Anna Kravets suggested the idea of a Jewish Musical Theatre to a group of enthusiastic fans of Jewish music. The first performance took place at the JCC in Brighton, MA in November 2000 after two months of rehearsing, next show, called ''Vignettes of life in a Shtetl', took place at the JCC in Newton in May 2001. Different programs were produced during 18 years – ‘Once upon a Chanukah”, “Alevai”, “Smile! You Are On!”, “Barry Sisters”, “Di Velt is a Teater”. Tonight you’ll see a new generation of Firelech soloists. We are very proud of them, they keep Firelech traditions alive.As Firelech performs heartwarming songs in Yiddish and Hebrew and magically dance on stage, you suddenly become a time traveler transported onto the streets of that Shtetl‚ a place where our great-grandparents lived among the Jews of Spain, Greece and Yemen. Eventually you find yourself in the land of Israel, where no matter how many tears are shed and how much pain we as Jews endure, there is always room for song and dance in our hearts.
