RSA assistant director, Maxine Schackman, told the audience at the International Association of Yiddish Clubs  conference in Boca Raton that FAU Libraries has been collecting Judaic recordings since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe take these antique recordings and digitize them so that a new generation can learn and enjoy what came before them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Recorded Sound Archives website<\/a> has the largest searchable online collection of Jewish music in the world with recordings by 7,344 Jewish performers, 13,776 albums and 72, 577 song titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the musical pieces Schackman presented that had the audience laughing and singing along were “Roumania, Roumania<\/a>,” written and performed by Yiddish theater star Aaron Lebedeff; “Good Night ‘Oy Vey’ Irene”, a Yiddish parody of “Good Night Irene” sung by Seymour Rechtzeit<\/a> and written by his wife, Miraim Kressyn; and “Bei Mir Bistu Shein<\/a>,” a Yiddish swing song that became a number-one single in America in 1938 as recorded by the Andrews Sisters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
