Subject: MIRA RAFALOWICZ /O'H

Today, the Yiddish World lost one of its most passionate and talented and
loving people.

Mira Rafalowicz, a writer, a dramaturg, a playwright, a poet, a teacher, an
inspiration, succumbed to a long battle with cancer in Amsterdam, Holland. 
She was the force and the inspiration behind the International Yiddish
Festival which took place in Amsterdam for several years. She inspired a
generation of young klezmer and yiddish artists in Holland and all over the
world with her passion , intelligence, wit, and caring heart. 

In this moment of sadness, friends here in New York are contemplating a
shloshim memorial for her. If anyone would like to help organize such an
event, please contact me at the Workmen's Circle at 212 889 6800 ext.207.
