Yiddish as Time Travel
an evening of songs and dreams
by Lev “Velvl” Medvedev

Dear Friends,

Last night I dreamed about a tiny sofa in a bookshelf-lined hallway, baking a chocolate cake for movie night, and teaching a weaving class about sports.

When I woke up, I read from the book by my bed. On the cover is the view from the top of a spiral staircase.

Out the window, eight guys are working with hammers on a pitched roof. They’re listening to a song by Troy y Los Reyes.

Dear confidants and tricksters,

I write to you in a post-risotto daze, perfumed by foraged chanterelles and chicken of the woods. Nevertheless, the loom beckons. We have a lot to discuss, so here's a whirlwind tour...
