Originally established in 2002 as a small project dedicated to the preservation of recorded Jewish music, it has matured into a robust digitization operation for all types of sound recordings.

Notes The nicest thing about this album is that all of the songs are sung in the "Mamme Loshen," the folk language of Yiddish. A Brieveleh der Mama, (Send a letter to your mother) recalls the time when a mother sent a letter to complain that she hasn't had a letter for a long time. In the medley Tchiribim, Dudu sings three of the most beloved Yiddish tunes; Tchiribim, Shetyn vi di Levoneh, and By Mir Bistu Sheyn.
