A Wandering Feast: A Journey Through the Jewish Culture of Eastern Europe

by Yale Strom, Yale Strom

An original and uplifting view of a world lost, reborn, and rediscovered This is a delightful book that welcomes the reader to a wonderful journey through the Jewish culture of Eastern Europe: the still-vibrant villages and homes, the Yiddish folkways, the toe-tapping Klezmer music, and heart-warming traditional food. Yale Strom documented his journey--organized around fourteen specific visits to authentic villages in Eastern Europe--with a fascinating travelogue that includes inspiring stories, photographs, music that has never been printed, and recipes. He reveals that a culture long feared to be gone forever is still very much alive.

A twenty something slacker from California goes to 1980's Eastern Europe and Russia in search of Klezmer Music(Jewish Folk) and finds himself. His travel log was very interesting and you realy got to know the people that he was talking to.
