(Marc J. Franklin)
On January 31, 2021, the Workers Circle will present a Yiddish Schmooze featuring Zalmen Mlotek, the Artistic Director at the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, which presented the award-winning Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish and whose parents were integral members of the Workers Circle and passionate proponents of Yiddish culture.
During the hour-long virtual event, Director of Yiddish Programming Nikolai (Kolya) Borodulin will talk with Mr. Mlotek not only about Yiddish theatre but his parents work and legacy. Zalmen Mlotek had served as the cultural director of the Workers Circle for many years.
The event will be held on Sunday, January 31 starting at 2:00 PM. The event is free, but Workers Circle would welcome donations of $18 to go to strengthening its world-renown Yiddish program. To register, visit https://bit.ly/3nOs7B0. ....
