Published by Magnes Press of Hebrew University, 2002 Edited by Sinai Leichter Language: Hebrew, English, Yiddish "Were it not for Sholem Aleichem we might never have hard of Mark Warshavsky. For it was Sholom Aleichem who first "discovered" Warshavsky with whom he often appeared in cultural evenings in Kiev. Like some of the early songs of Gebirtig - Warshavsky's songs too became folksongs, the lyrics and melodies spread like wildfire among the Jewish masses. The appearance of Warshavsky's Der Alef Beys, or as it quicky became known from its first words Oyfn Pripetchek, caused a real revolution in the minds of orthodox as well as progressive Jews in Eastern Europe." Includes the popular songs: Oyfn Pripetchik Der Bekher (Tayere Malke) Di Mizinke Oysgegebn Dem Milner's Trern Simkhas Toyre Der Vinter |
