A Great Day on Eldridge Street

Oct 12, 2007. Yale Strom amasses a crowd of Klezmer musicians for a photo shot on the steps of the newly rennovated Eldreidge Street Synagogue in New York City. As the shoot finishes, Yale, Michael Alpert, Yankl Falk and others break into the Yiddish song, "Ale Brider" (We're all brothers). Presnt are Theo Bikel, Frank London, Don Byron, Alicia Svigals... just about everybody involved in the revival of Klezmer music.

Just read about this happening, does anyone know if they're going to have the photo for people to buy? Wish I'd been there - I don't know about anyone in that photo, but Yale is the person who brought me closer to Judaism through his warmth and teaching. He is a great man!
