Crossing the Shadows (Ariber di Shotns) is an album and concert series of original Yiddish songs and melodies, with words and music by Josh Waletzky. Josh is joined by Jeff Warschauer and Deborah Strauss in a contemporary performance style that brings together Yiddish song and instrumental traditions. The texts spring from both deeply personal and communal concerns, ranging from love songs and lullaby to mixed feelings over the re-emergence of Jewish music in Europe and anguish over the peace prospects in Israel. The moods are celebrative, contemplative, timely, timeless. On Compact Disk Track List
