This Week at CSFA - June 10

We believe it is best to continue our current guidelines as updated below.

CSFA’s COVID-19 policy is as follows:

If you test positive for Covid or are living with or are in close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid, please do not attend services or synagogue activities for a period that includes at least one Shabbat. Please stay home the required Shabbat and be tested with negative results before you return to the synagogue.

All CSFA members, visitors, and program attendees are required to be fully vaccinated, including with boosters if eligible.

Masks are suggested for all indoor services and programming.

We recognize that many of us are feeling enormous fatigue around masking, while for others continued masking creates a stronger feeling of safety. We feel obligated to protect one another and suggest but do not obligate individuals to continue masking indoors.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Seth Weinstein, piano accompanist

Fueled by optimism, faith, and pride, the Jewish nation has prevailed, resilient in the face of hatred and oppression. Hear the Yiddish Philharmonic Chorus, an intergenerational ensemble, perform a variety of Yiddish anthems, theater songs, a liturgical setting, and even a children's song, all in some way rallying for solidarity or declaring the need for freedom.

This concert features four world-premiere choral arrangements and some familiar songs you'll hear in a completely different way. Even if you don't know a word of Yiddish, the song intros, English supertitles, and a keepsake booklet with full lyric translations will keep you fully engaged and in the spirit. The concert will also honor two historic acts of defiance: the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (80 years ago) and the founding of Israel (75 years ago).

including the songs

Dona, dona

Hatikvah (in Yiddish)

Hey, hey, daloy politsey

Partizaner-himen

Yerushalayim shel zahav (in Yiddish)

excerpts from the Yiddish musical

Shver tsu zayn a yid ("It's Hard Being Jewish")
