PINTELE Part 1: Straight Outta Anatevka

An autobiographical oral history series by Noah Diamond.

"We begin with the story of how I found my identity in great American musicals. Then we return to the Pale of Settlement, follow my great grandmother across the ocean, and begin to explore the relationship between Judaism and Jewishness, as represented by her two daughters. Special thanks to Eleanor Reissa for permission to include her recording of 'Yankee Doodle Boy / Lebn Zol Columbus' in this episode. The recording appears on Ms. Reissa's 1992 album Going Home: Gems of Yiddish Song."
