An exciting musical drama based on Shalom Aleichem's classic novel

Play by: Yonatan Rosen, Yonatan Esterkin  Director: Yonatan Esterkin

Featuring: Yaakov Bodo and Yonatan Rosen

When you say Yiddish, Motl, the Cantor's Son comes to mind, the orphan boy immortalized by all-time greatest Yiddish novelist Shalom ben Menachem Nachum Rabinovitz, aka "Shalom Aleichem."

Through Motl's innocent eyes, we get a glimpse of the Jews' community life in Eastern Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century, their aspirations, and their economic and national situation. Motl's "diary" also reveals the physical and spiritual upheaval experienced by Jews who decided to emigrate to America, seeking a new life in the New World. A touching, gentle, clever, and tear-wrenchingly funny story. The lost world is portrayed side by side by the child (Yonatan Rosen) and the same child in his adulthood (Yankele Bodo).
