In Warsaw, Poland, between the World Wars, in a little shop in the flea market across from a used hardware store, Itzik Zhelonek bought and sold books and records. He also printed tiny books of lyrics of the most loved Yiddish theater songs of that time and place. He wrote: "If you don't know the melodies, come to Itzik and he'll teach them to you." His beloved songs are droll, sly, sweet, and poignant, dealing with everything from Judaism itself to "The Modern Woman" to emigration to masquerade balls to the poverty of scholars and their families. The 230-page book contains the transliterated Yiddish lyrics with translations, melodies, chords, commentary, and sources. 1. Digital download ($9) 2.
