An interesting concert

Saturday night, there was a concert at our synagogue. Two great singers, our rabbi, Israel Horovitz, and a former student of his from way back in Argentina, both sang for us. The room was packed with people, and the music was varied. Included were traditional Yiddish melodies, modern Israeli favorites, and several others. For example, we heard "If I Were a Rich Man" (from "Fiddler on the Roof") -- sung in Yiddish, which seemed somehow appropriate, even though the song was certainly originally written in English. We also heard "I Did It My Way" -- in Spanish! How's that for cross-cultural?! There was even a combination of a song about a Yiddish mama and an Italian mama song! Anyway, it was an enjoyable evening.
