Interesting article in Haaretz about Yiddish speaking in Melbourne culminating in “Yentl,” which played at the Arts Centre this year.

It was the first time a Yiddish-language play had ever been performed on the main state theater’s stage.

It's 11 years today that the heartbreakingly talented singer/songwriter @amywinehouse passed away.

These photos captured by her friend, photographer @blakeewood were published in a book by @taschen and show Amy in a way not usually done so.
