In this compilation of articles that I wrote in the last years concerning a new-old pedagogy for Yiddish theatre I try to invent a specific method for theatre students willing to join the Yiddish theatre that is growing lastly all over the world. This pedagogy is based on the body identification related to the specific musicality of the Yiddish language. As all the languages, Yiddish also has its specific musicality, impacted by several musical influences in the Ashkenazic world: klezmer music, prayer, Torah codified intonations, the Talmud "pilpul" (discussion), etc. This new method would like to conserve and develop the Yiddish theatre and its ways of expression. I hope this can be my personal contribution to the preservation and innovation of the Yiddish culture.
