Moyshe Hoffman: Hoffy's Restaurant

Highlights:

• Moyshe Hoffman, proprietor of Hoffy’s Kosher Restaurant in Antwerp, Belgium, where you can “enjoy Yiddish traditional cuisine”. He talks about his restaurant, some personal and family history, and a bit about Yiddish life in Antwerp. We interviewed Moyshe Hoffman at Hoffy’s on Nov. 14, 2024. Hoffy’s website: https://hoffys.be
• Richard Fein (רובֿן-יעקבֿ פֿײַן) reads the poem “To My Father” in English, and Sholem Beinfeld reads the Yiddish. This was recorded at Fein’s home in Cambridge, MA, on Sept. 20, 2024, as a bonus when we recorded Fein’s translations of Avrom Sutzkever’s poetry, but it could not be included in that program, so we are now airing it for the first time.
