[HANASHIR:13212] Re: Immmigration to America - YIddish songs

[charki <charki...>]

I have that book, but it is at school (we are on break.)  What comes to mind 
are:

Oifn' Pripinchok (By the Fireside...famous lullabye)
Rhozinkes Mit Mandlen (Raisins and Almonds...also great lullabye)

My Yiddishe Mama...however, I think this is from the Yiddish Theatre in the 
early 20's...not turn of the century.

I can look for more next week.
