Excerpts From Yidishe Neshomes
Excerpts From Yidishe Neshomes
This chapter presents some excerpts from A. Litvin's Yidishe neshomes (Jewish Souls). The first deals with the Jew and the ‘look-box’. There is a very large portion of the Jewish masses for whom the entire world of aesthetics, beauty, and art is unknown. The Jewish folk artist comes to their help. Still today, as in the past, the aesthetic needs of the very poorest are met by the Jew with the ‘look-box’. The look-box is simultaneously a theatre and a museum; it also teaches history, geography, and other important things. Meanwhile, the second excerpt concerns the blind Jewish musicians, who are nearly all former artisans.
