Proud Member Agency Klezmer (Continued from page 15} our observation is that organizers of this event (Jewish Community Development Fund in NY) are succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. Young people with whom we spoke all mentioned their involvement with Hillel; some were involved with Hillel-spon- sored activities that will bring them to America, an experience that they eagerly anticipate. We observed Zalman Mlotek coach ing an engaging young boy in the subtleties of singing a Yiddish song, then watched the 14-year- old perform it beautifully in con cert. We spoke with older musi cians who told us that Yiddish was their native tongue. Other people told us how thrilled they were that they could now perform Yiddish music without fear of the conse quences, and the audiences were obviously drawn in by the perfor mances. Any American who is interest ed in both Klezmer music and a unique cultural -experience in Russia should consider attending this annual event, which has been held every summer for the past five years. ^
