Yiddish art! Could be the messiah of arts.

-Aaron Zeitlin, “The Cult of Nothingness and Art as it Should Be,” 

(from Varshever shriftn, 1926/27)

****************************
Taking its name from the avant-garde Yiddish poets of Warsaw in the 1920s, Di Farborgene Khalyastre, is a small Melbourne-based collective of musicians, artists, poets and scholars dedicated to new fusions of  Yiddish poetry, art and music.

Wandering souls who only recently found one another, The Gang of the Concealed, believe that creativity and mystery are the only resistance.

Renewal. Upheaval. Revolution of the spirit. Exaltation—and more. 

Of course. So it goes. With them and with us.

-Uri Tsvi Greenberg, “Proclamation,” Albatross 1 (1922)

Who will remain, what will remain? A wind will stay behind.

Strange and rambling creatures howling at the swirling infinity of the night!

Lost souls connected through the purity of art, though joined together all along.
