Welcome and thank you for visiting EisnersKlezmorim.com
My name is Gitl Judith Eisner
I hope my website may enable us to share "oystres" (treasures),
"yerushe" (traditions), and "nakhes" (joy) of "yidishkayt" (culture).
It is a "mekhaye" to play at your simkhe - weddings, bar/bat mitsves, birthdays and parties.
