Encores: Nathan Kasdan (2013-2014) and Miriam Libenson (1990's)

• from our archive: Nathan Kasdan (נחום קאָזשדאַן), who died one year ago (JULY 14, 2022), gave us an extraordinary interview in 2013, which we’ve previously aired in 2013 and 2014 as well as in 2015. We recently learned that Nathan passed away, about a year ago. Considering Nathan’s yahrtzeit, as well as the fact that it’s erev Tisha B’Ov, we’re re-airing our interview with Nathan again.

• from our archive: Miriam Libenson, our late-great resident poet and Yiddish presenter extraordinaire, discusses Tisha B’Ov, which occurs next week, as we’re now in the 9 days from the beginning of the month of Ov.
