About this event
A conversation with Ilya Shneyveys, Eleonore Biezunski, Lyudmila Sholokhova, and Christina Crowder presented by the Klezmer Institute and Yiddish New York.
In his book A Time to Gather, Jason Lustig describes the creation of Jewish archives as constituting a “concrete attempt to hold tight to the past in times of fast and far-reaching change, and [they] manifest a broader sensibility of gathering together the scattered sources and resources of Jewish life by bringing order to the past. In this series, we will meet archivists and scholars who are deeply connected to archives that were wellsprings for the klezmer revival, and which continue to inform new generations of practitioners in Ashkenazic expressive culture.
