Re: The golden Peacock/Goldene Pave

Yes, though my info is a bit hazy. I seem to remember that the Golden Peacock is a symbol for the return of Jews from the Diaspora and is Sephard in origin. It's been awhile since I read this info...somehow I contact it with Morris Winchevsky(sp?) the great Yiddish poet.

>Someone asked me the following question:
>re: Di Goldene Pave" the Golden Peacock - a yiddish poem by Anna Margolin set to music by Chava Alberstein and the Klezmatics. All my research indicates that the Golden Peacock is the symbol for Jewish 'folk' music". Are you aware of any other 'meaning' behind the "Golden Peacock"? The poem would seem to be a love poem, but it would seem that there is a deeper meaning beneath that??? Where did the Golden Peacock originate?
