Israeli singer Chava Alberstein joins the audience for discussion following the film Too Early to Be Quiet, Too Late to Sing. Released in 1995, the work is the result of interviews with elderly poets and writers who survived WWII and continued to write in Yiddish, and is interlaced with folk songs. Chava Alberstein's work on this film inspired The Well, her 1998 collaboration with The Klezmatics, for which she wrote music for 15 poems by the greatest Yiddish poets of the 20th Century.
