The book Melodies of Yiddish Shtetlakh contains examples of Yiddish music (folk music and compositions) and continues the series devoted to the Jewish musical heritage.

Although interest in Yiddish music has increased considerably in recent years, its study has become more and more complicated, because the world in which Yiddish culture emerged and flourished doesn't exist anymore. The main purpose of this book is to reintroduce forgotten and unknown scores and historic information relating to the Yiddish musical heritage.
