Text: Chava Rosenfarb Music: Alan Bern English translation by Chava Rosenfarb Praise likewise the day Standing still as a water - A mirror without a reflection. Through hours that glide Through its hazy-pale surface Like breath-carried skaters Are shunning the lighted eye of awareness, Erasing their footprints Before they are falling - Praise likewise that day You will never remember. Praise likewise that day whose name is a riddle And you are not sure, Is it now, is it later? And all the accounts With yourself and with others are resting hidden In white and gray sponges; And words that you utter And words that you ponder Resemble the minnows That fall through ripped net-holes deep into the silence… Praise likewise that day when you feel no discomfort Of soul or of body; When moving your limbs you don’t feel their burden And you don’t hear the pulse of time in your bosom; And throughout your mind reflections are swimming Like gossamer threads Without knots or connections - not bound and not torn - When the light is down and the end is approaching And suddenly at last You find yourself standing in a gate of deep darkness; Look once more behind you to that bubble of being And praise it, the day that drips out of existence, dissolving unnoticed In the night of oblivion. 7h Reply Alan Bern Please note: the original poem had one more verse before the final verse, which I did not set to music for purely musical reasons: Praise likewise that day When no letters are coming, No tidings arriving, Not good ones, not bad ones - When silent the bell at your door and the telephone’s quiet; And the loudest of echoes That reaches your being Is that of a kiss That your baby gives you With lips sweet as honey … See: chavarosenfarb.com Home | Chava Rosenfarb CHAVAROSENFARB.COM Home | Chava Rosenfarb Home | Chava Rosenfarb CHAVAROSENFARB.COM Home | Chava Rosenfarb

Ich habe diese Melodie als das jiddische Lied „Koyln“ („Kohle“) kennen gelernt. Die Melodie ist aber auch sehr bekannt zum italienischen Partisanenlied „Bella Ciao“. Andrea Pancur und Ilya Shneyveys haben die Gemeinsamkeit in einem Arrangement thematisiert.

Who in his right mind would go to Weimar, Germany to learn about Yiddish music? What are these Germans (who can't say one Yiddish word properly) so happy about? They're making a mockery out of the Yiddish culture which was an integral part of the lives of the Six Million innocent Jewish victims of Nazi Germany's war of extermination. First of all, they'll never succeed in learning Yiddish and, secondly, most Jewish people would like them to stay far away from Yiddish and Jewish culture. Did their parents or grandparents take part in the wanton killing of Jewish people? This whole project is ridiculous, senseless and serves no purpose. Germans should have thought about the richness of Jewish culture before they conceived their idea of mass murder.

Dear René, I understand very well that this is hard to swallow when you look at it from the outside. But have you ever spent any time actually getting to know people in Germany who are interested in Jewish culture and Yiddish culture? I guess not, because if you had you would know that a lot of what you've written is just gut-level prejudice, but not true. Every summer, students from more than 2 dozen countries come to Weimar to study Yiddish music, language and culture with the leading artists and scholars in these fields from all over the world, including universities such as NYU, Harvard, and many others. I don't know if you are Jewish, but if you are, I would hope you would be proud that people of all nations are fascinated by Jewish music. We don't expect that only Austrians will play Mozart, for example. Well, to end my reply to you, I realize that you might be just too angry to be able to consider any facts outside of your own opinions. But in case there's a little room in you for being open-minded, I'd be glad to welcome you in Weimar to see what this is all about for yourself. Yours, Alan Bern, Artistic Director of Yiddish Summer Weimar

Dear Alan, There is no prejudice here, because past history and hard facts are infallible witnesses. I live in a French city very close to the German border and have a knowledge of their language. I am a Yiddish, Slavic and French linguist and my mother tongue is Yiddish. I have decades of professional experience in researching Yiddish and in teaching the language on the university level. I am well acquainted with the so-called Yiddish "scene" in Germany and know about a number of Germans who dabble in Yiddish and make a total mess of this beautiful language. I am also acquainted with inaccurate, prejudiced articles written by so-called German "linguists" concerning Yiddish. The level of Yiddish instruction in Germany is rock-bottom --- incompetence is the rule --- and contempt for the Yiddish language is prevalent. Antisemitism is still an undeniable problem in present-day Germany and, according to the media, Jewish people have been attacked in the streets. Many Germans would just like to sweep the Holocaust under the rug, and this attitude can be documented. Recordings of Yiddish songs made by Germans are horribly incorrect and grotesque. A leopard cannot change its spots. In Germany, hatred directed against Jews goes back to the Middle Ages, when Jews were forced to live in certain areas. The existence of neo-Nazi groups in Germany is common knowledge. The motto of the Jewish people who perished in the Holocaust, of those who survived, of their children and grandchildren was and is: KEYNMOL NIT FARGESN, KEYNMOL NIT MEYKHL ZAIN ('Never forget and never forgive'). These words are etched on numerous monuments. If you prefer to live in a dreamworld, that's your problem. I advise you to become immersed in Holocaust literature in Yiddish and English and to put yourself in the position of the millions of innocent victims.

Dear René, you assume that I have not already immersed myself in Holocaust literature. Like many of your assumptions here, that is false. If you are interested in the point of view of Salomon Bielasiak, a Polish Jews from Lodz who has lived in France most of his life, received awards for his contribution to Yiddish culture, moderates a Yiddish radio program, and much more, please send me an email to [email protected] and I will send you his email address. Salomon has been to Weimar many times, so he has an informed opinion on the subject that might be interesting to you. If not, then I will assume that your reactions to this video are simply an expression of prejudice that you don't want to challenge.
@renedupont1953 7 жыл бұрын
Dear Alan, Thank you for your message. If you want to set up a program of Yiddish language, culture and music, you have every right to do so. However, Weimar or any other German locality are out of the question, out of respect for our Six Million martyrs. Why don't you transfer your program to Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, England et al. and even Morocco, whose king protected and saved the Jewish population of his country during World War II? I have no desire to go to Germany and I boycott German products, as do many other Jews. If the Germans had not destroyed the wonderful Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, Yiddish language and culture would be flourishing in today's world. You probably know that Yiddish is presently an endangered language; Yiddish literature has come to a standstill. Yiddish newspapers and periodicals have been reduced to practically nothing. One Yiddish-speaking organization after another have closed their doors. Over the past thirty years, practically all of my Yiddish conversation partners have departed this earth. I assume that Salomon Bieliasiak speaks Yiddish, and I have heard his name previously. I would probably enjoy conversing with him. You must be aware of the fact that during the war and thereafter certain Jews "played ball" with the Germans, for reasons of their own. Their conduct is not to be emulated, if you get my drift. If you give me Mr. Bieliasiak's telephone number, I might very well get in touch with him. By the way, are you proficient in spoken and written Yiddish? Are you a reader of Yiddish literature? On your Internet site, you say a few words in German. I hope you will give careful thought to my remarks. Best wishes.
