klezmerIn response to today's Take Away, an NPR program, with a theme, "What We Loose When Cultures Vanish," a Yiddish-speaking listener has left her comment:
Rachel LS from 02155
I'm Jewish, so I was raised with the idea that knowledge and traditions are *supposed* to be handed down. At the Passover Seder, we are reminded in multiple places that we were slaves in Egypt and must teach our children that this is their story.
As for my own family, we have Passover melodies that we have never heard anywhere else. I think they're probably Lithuanian (based on our Yiddish pronunciations), and I wish I could find other people who knew them, or people who wanted to learn them.

Since there is no direct way to contact that woman via NPR's web-site, I have left my response to her comment. Hope she will read it and we'll get in touch.
