Samuel E. Goldfarb was born in 1891 on the Lower East Side of New York City to a musical family. He studied music at Columbia University, supporting himself by playing piano in a nickelodeon and for a Yiddish vaudeville theater. Goldfarb was a prolific composer of songs and other music. With his brother, Israel Goldfarb, he composed hundreds of songs, and in 1925 the brothers compiled the first American collection of Jewish songs, the Jewish Songster. Samuel Goldfarb’s most famous song, “The Dreidel,” is sung during Chanukah by children throughout the world. Goldfarb was musical director for Temple de Hirsch in Seattle for 38 years. During that time he conducted many adult and children’s choirs, served as organist, taught classes, coached singers, and continued to compose and arrange music. Goldfarb died in Seattle in 1978.

Are there any movies or photos of max kletter? His wife’s sister was my stepmother, so I’m interested in seeing them and sharing them with his wife’s daughter.
The article says Sheb recorded his last song just 4 days before he died, but does not tell us the name of it. I be curious what it was. I’d like to hear it.
