History / Biographical
Yiddish Programing at the Chapel Street JCC began early in 1998 as a weekly program called “The Yiddish Hour.” This was an innovative and creative approach lead by Shirley Steinberg to teach and practice Yiddish language skills through conversation, stories, songs, and improvisation (or improv) games. When the Soloway Jewish Community Centre opened in September 1998, the Yiddish Hour regrouped and welcomed new members. Over the next three years, under the guidance and direction of Shirley Steinberg, the group developed a series of Yiddish programs called “Gelechter un Gezang” (Laughter and Song). By 2002, encouraged and inspired by the degree of interest and attendance, and with sponsorship from the Soloway Jewish Community Centre, the group began to perform under the name Die Folkshpieler – the Soloway JCC Yiddish Players; a group now made up of mature amateur actors having the goal of providing the community with more ambitious Yiddish theater. Die Folkshpieler presented their first formal theater production in 2003 entitled “Alles in Eynem” (Everything in One). In 2012, Die Folkshpieler celebrated its tenth anniversary with a retrospective production entitled “Fun Necht’n Biz Heint” (From Yesterday to Today) which featured highlights from their most popular theater productions. The group disbanded in 2015 after their last performance entitled “S’iz Besser in Yiddish” (Its better in Yiddish). Throughout Die Folkshpieler’s 14 year history, Shirley Steinberg took on the role of script writer, director, producer, manager and everything in between. A former New Yorker, Mrs. Steinberg is well known in Ottawa for her musical contributions. She was the director of the Israella Singers and the Shir-Am Choral Group.
