Notes In this recording of the Yiddish classic, The Jolly Paupers (Di Freylekh Kaptsonim), the Four Bursteins get the opportunity to show off their many talents as they portray the relentless efforts of two small-town Jews to escape their misery and achieve fame and fortune. The story dramatizes that in the face of setbacks, community quarrels, and even insanity, one need not give in to despair.
