The Jewish and African American people arrived in America by different paths. But the parallels in their histories as oppressed minorities brought them together in the struggle for equal rights. The exciting celebration of two cultures’ commonalities is the essence of “Soul to Soul” which brings together African American and Yiddish American experiences in a deeply stirring musical presentation. Starring Lisa Fishman, Cantor Magda Fishman, Elmore James, Zalmen Mlotek, and Tony Perry, with Brian Glassman on bass, Dmitri Slepovitch on clarinet and saxophone, and Matt Temkin on percussion. “Soul to Soul” has been performed for enthusiastic audiences from coast to coast.

“Soul to Soul” was created by the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, Zalmen Mlotek, Artistic Director.
