Right at Home of Central New Jersey
Celebrates the Resurgence of
Yiddish Entertainment
The right people, doing the right things,
the right way, for the right reasons.
Right at Home.
When Beth Sholom, Owner/Executive Director of Right at Home of Central New Jersey, first began her journey of working with seniors to provide them with great home health care, she rented out the East Brunswick High School auditorium for two sold-out shows for neighbors, clients and residents (and her parents, Zane and Joan) to enjoy the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene . Folksbiene is the longest-running Yiddish theater in the world and Beth first learned about them from her own mother who had as a child attended performances with her grandmother in New York.
Folksbiene is now performing "Fiddler on the Roof" in Yiddish in New York City and Beth is sharing that experience by taking her parents to see what has been hailed by the New York Times as "offering a kind of authenticity no other Fiddler ever has".
Along with television shows like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (which deals with a young Jewish housewife who, after her husband leaves her, become a stand-up comic) and the recent Carnegie Hall celebration of Yiddish music and culture, there has been a resurgence of Yiddish culture in America. For our many clients, friends, caregivers and partners who are Jewish, we celebrate the many opportunities we have to embrace and enjoy our culture. (And if you want to see the return of a great musical, "Fiddler on the Roof", it's running in New York until September 1).
