Shlof Mayn Kind Mayn Treyst Mayn Sheyner - Sleep My Child My Lovely Comfort (Words By Sholem Aleichem) When Eastern European Jews immigrated en masse to the United States in the 1880s and '90s fleeing Czarist oppression and poverty, they brought with them a body of secular folk songs. Sung in Yiddish by men and women who came here from five villages (with English translations and explanations), this recording archives a lost way of life. Copyright DirectToU LLC.
