Notes This Yiddish operetta is about a wedding in a shtetl. To make matters interesting the rabbi's sons from a previous marriage are consumed with jealousy and try to sabotage the festivities. The plot thickens with secret letters and evil deeds. In the end, of course, everything works out and all is forgiven. Beautifully performed by the Bursteins: father Pesach, mother Lillian, and son Mike.
