Watch Yiddish Aroma

To some, Yiddish is a dead culture, but an increasing number of people feel that the richness of its heritage is something to be preserved. The film presents these dilemmas on the rehearsal stage of the Yiddish spiel Theater, where the performances themselves, filmed in Europe and Israel, allow audiences to identify with the stories and the emotions of this once vibrant culture.

Yiddish Aroma is a 2004 documentary with a runtime of 52 minutes.
