YIDDISH FILM NIGHT: “UNCLE MOSES” (1932)
June 20 @ 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM EDT
**Free with Detroit Historical Museum admission! **Help us celebrate our
ongoing exhibit, “In the Neighborhood,” with the Yiddish film classic, _Uncle
Moses _(1932). **Includes brand-new English subtitles. **
When poverty and persecution compel his Polish _landsmen_ to leave their
shtetl, “Uncle” Moses, the crude and lusty former butcher, welcomes them to
the promised land of his Lower East Side clothing factory. But is it the land
of milk and honey for all? On loan from the National Center for Jewish Film,
this famous and entertaining Yiddish talkie (based on Shalom Asch’s novel and
starring Maurice Schwartz). **Supported by the Sholem Aleichem Institute
Yiddishkeit Programming Fund.**
